Redwood City To Open New Pedestrian Undercrossing At Highway 101
Linking the bayfront areas and downtown has been a long-term goal for Redwood City, according to officials
REDWOOD CITY, CA — Redwood City is celebrating the opening of the Highway 101 pedestrian undercrossing connecting the bike path along Bair Island Road with the bike lanes on Main Street next Wednesday at a grand opening.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will commemorate the new undercrossing beneath the freeway adjacent to the Courtyard Marriott, creating 700 new feet of pathway. It will provide a 14-foot wide path that includes landscaping improvements, site lighting, two retaining walls and a scenic overlook, according to city officials.
The project has been under construction since 2019. Linking the bayfront areas and downtown has been a long-term goal for the city, according to officials. More housing in the bayfront areas east of Highway 101 has created an increased demand for pedestrian and bike areas, the city said.
