CA Awards $18M For 5 Projects In San Mateo County

REDWOOD CITY, CA — The California Transportation Commission has authorized more than $3.7 billion in state and federal funds to improve infrastructure in the Golden State, including $18.4 million headed to support projects in San Mateo County.

According to transportation officials, the bulk of the money comes from the bipartisan infrastructure law approved by Congress in 2021, with funds earmarked to support projects to improve bridges, travel times and safety on roadways in hundreds of cities and counties. California has received more than $22.6 billion since the landmark legislation passed.

Other funding is provided by Senate Bill 1, approved by state lawmakers in 2017, which created $5 billion in transportation funding awarded annually to state and local agencies.

"These investments will help California maintain and build a safer, more reliable and more climate-resilient transportation system," said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares. "Commuters, bicyclists, pedestrians, and freight movers in local communities will all benefit as we continue to improve and rebuild our infrastructure."

Five projects will move forward in San Mateo County, including bridge repairs in Woodside, San Francisco and Daly City, and storm repairs around Half Moon Bay and Belmont.

Here's where the new infrastructure funds are headed in San Mateo County:

• $8,657,000 allocated in and near Woodside, South San Francisco, and Daly City
to apply polyester concrete overlay to bridge decks and approach decks.
• $2,740,000 allocated near Palo Alto, north of Alpine Road to reconstruct slopes
and unlined channels affected by winter storms.
• $2,600,000 allocated in Half Moon Bay north of Coronado Street to reconstruct
slope and repair pedestrian access damaged by winter storms.
• $1,236,000 allocated In Woodside, south of Canada Road, to repair roadway,
slipout, culvert system, and sink hole caused by winter storms.
• $3,212,000 allocated in Belmont, at Belmont Creek Bridge to remove debris and
sediment from a box culvert plugged by winter storms.
