Half Moon Bay Area Bridge Repairs To Disrupt Coastal Trail Access

HALF MOON BAY, CA — Pedestrians and cyclists using the Mirada Road bridge in nearby Miramar could face delays of about 15 minutes as crews work to protect an eroding coastal bluff.

Construction is underway at the bridge's southern end, where workers are installing large sandbags to reduce damage from incoming waves, according to a San Mateo County Public Works update for the week of Nov. 9.

The bridge will remain accessible during the current phase of construction, with flaggers guiding pedestrians and cyclists through the work zone.

Parking will be restricted during work hours. Drivers must move vehicles from posted no-parking areas before 8 a.m. on workdays.

Beach access will generally remain open, although portions will be blocked off for public safety.

The project is intended to protect the exposed bluff and seawall near the bridge ahead of a potentially stronger-than-usual winter storm season.

Work began Nov. 3 and is expected to last approximately two to three weeks, with construction generally taking place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

County officials will provide weekly updates on construction progress and potential access restrictions.
