U.S. Highway 101 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing

U.S. Highway 101 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing

The project will consist of constructing a Class I Pedestrian/Bicycle Overcrossing Structure over US Highway 101 to provide a direct connection between the south side and north side of U.S. Highway 101 in East Palo Alto. In addition to the overcrossing, sidewalk and bicycle signage and striping improvements along West Bayshore Road and a new pedestrian crossing of Newell Avenue will be added. The project would cross U.S. Highway 101, approximately 2,100 feet south of the University Avenue overcrossing of U.S. Highway 101 in this location is a ten-lane, 160-ft wide highway (recently widened from eight lanes). The latitude and longitude of the project is 37.457506, -122.13472. The frontage road on the southwest side, West Bayshore, is two lanes, while the frontage road on the northeast side, East Bayshore, is four lanes with a median to the north of the Project site, transitioning to two lanes south of the Project site.
