FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Willow Road and Connector Ramps to U.S. Route 101 in Menlo Park Close for Weekend Starting Friday, October 5, 2018
Willow Road Closed from 10:00 PM, Friday, October 5, until 4:00 AM. Monday, October 8
Connector Ramps Closed from 10:00 PM, Friday, October 5, until 6:00 AM, Monday, October 8
SAN MATEO COUNTY - Caltrans will close Willow Road and connecting ramps to U.S. Route 101 (U.S.-101) in Menlo Park for 54 hours, beginning 10:00 PM, Friday, October 5, 2018, until 4:00 AM, Monday, October 8, 2018, to allow workers to shift lanes on the Willow Road overpass onto newly-built bridges.
U.S.-101 will remain open to through-traffic during the weekend closure, but all on- and off-ramps connecting Willow Road with U.S.-101 will be closed from 10:00 PM, Friday, October 5 until 6:00 AM, Monday, October 8.
By shifting traffic onto the newly-built
bridges, Caltrans will be able to continue with the demolition of the existing overpass, clearing the way to build the new, larger overpass.
During the closure, Caltrans will pave two sections of roadway to connect Willow Road to the new bridges. In the new configuration, motorists traveling eastbound or westbound will navigate slightly to the right to access the new bridges.
Caltrans is constructing a new Willow Road interchange under a $58 million contract which began construction in September 2017. The project is scheduled for completion in mid-2019.

Through-traffic on U.S.-101 will not be detoured; only traffic that normally would take the Willow Road Exit will be detoured.
