El Camino Real Construction Updates





Paving Road




El Camino Real, also known as State Route 82, is owned and operated by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The Caltrans El Camino Real Pavement Maintenance Project [ https://www.mountainview.gov/our-city/departments/public-works/city-projects-bids/el-camino-real-improvements ] will bring much anticipated bicycle, pedestrian and roadway condition improvements.

Caltrans is currently wrapping up the ADA curb ramp installations in Mountain View. The next phase of paving work will tentatively begin in mid-August with localized pothole and base repairs. This will be followed in early September with pavement grinding and hot mixed asphalt installation.

*Lane Closures: Beginning Mid-August*
*9 p.m. - 7 a.m.: Northbound*
*10 p.m. - 8 a.m.: Southbound*

All paving work will occur at night. Paving work is expected to be complete by the end of November 2024.

Afterwards, the on-street parking lane will be replaced by bike and pedestrian improvements including the installation of three new pedestrian crossings.

This work by Caltrans is anticipated to continue into spring 2025 and is weather dependent.
