Construction on Historic El Camino Real Set to Start the first week of January

Caltrans will begin construction on the El Camino Real Roadway Renewal Project as early as January 5, 2026, in the vicinity of Dufferin Avenue and Rosedale Avenue.

The initial work will consist of tree removals on the northbound side of El Camino Real in Burlingame requiring full closures of the road. One to two blocks of El Camino Real may be closed at a time. Detour information will also be emailed in the coming weeks, and detour signage will be in place for affected blocks. Residents and businesses will continue to have access to their properties during construction.

In addition to tree removals, drainage work will be performed along the southbound side of the road.

All major project announcements, including construction schedules and detour information, will be posted at elcaminorealproject.com.
