Upcoming Copper Hill Bridge Expansion: Key Details and Traffic Shifts for Local Commuters

Construction on the Copper Hill Bridge, located on Copper Hill Drive over the San Francisquito Creek between McBean Parkway and Avenida Rancho Tesoro, will begin on May 13, 2024. The project, led by developers, will widen the bridge to include three lanes in each direction to improve traffic flow.

The project will also feature street improvements including new sidewalks, a landscaped median, updated traffic signals, storm drains, curb ramps, and street lighting. A Class 1 trail for pedestrians and cyclists will be added around the north side of the bridge.

Traffic will be managed during construction by restriping the bridge and shifting lanes to the south side. Two lanes will stay open in both directions during the day, with most construction work occurring at night to reduce disruption.

Specific closures are scheduled from May 13 to May 17 and May 20 to May 24, with two lanes closing nightly from 7:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. A full closure from McBean Parkway to Avenida Rancho Tesoro is set for May 28 to May 31 during the same hours.
