Tom Lantos Tunnel on Highway 1
Half Moon Bay officials are warning residents to expect continued traffic congestion along the Highway 1 corridor as paving work by Caltrans continues through the summer.
City officials said several intersections under construction, including Coronado Street and Ruisseau Francais Avenue, are temporarily operating on preset traffic signal timing instead of real-time vehicle detection, causing longer and less predictable delays.
Additional intersections farther south, including North Main Street, Highway 92, Kelly Avenue and Poplar Avenue, may also experience similar traffic signal disruptions during upcoming construction phases, according to Caltrans.
No nighttime construction work or lane closures are scheduled during Memorial Day weekend, city officials said.
Additional electronic message boards will be installed along the corridor, and pedestrian crossings will remain open.
Caltrans said traffic detection systems are expected to remain offline until paving work is completed later this summer, followed by restoration and testing.
City staff have been coordinating with the office of San Mateo County Supervisor Ray Mueller, Assemblymembers Marc Berman and Diane Papan, and state Sen. Josh Becker to identify short- and long-term solutions to reduce traffic impacts on the community, according to the city.

Perhaps Caltrans could work at night to avoid delays for the very people who pay their inflated salaries? I believe it was last Saturday, there were ELEVEN Caltrans vehicles bringing highway 101 to a halt because they had to clean a highway during the middle of the day. Years ago I left Scottsdale AZ at 4 AM and there were two freeway sweepers and one patrol car cleaning the freeway. But in CA we need 11 during the middle of a Saturday afternoon. KEEP voting Democrat and nothing will change
