For Immediate Release
Final Phase of Culvert Relocation Work
to Close Jefferson at Broadway for Two Days
Redwood City, CA - November 3, 2003 -
Redwood City, CA – This Saturday and Sunday mark the
final phase of the underground storm water culvert relocation
project in downtown Redwood City. The ‘old’ culvert
that remains underneath the roadway near the corner of Jefferson
Avenue and Broadway must be back-filled with dirt, requiring
the closure of Jefferson for two days.
Starting Saturday November 8th at 7:00 am and ending Monday
November 10th at 5:00 am, Jefferson Avenue will be closed
to through traffic at Broadway. Broadway will remain open
to traffic.
At the same time, work is progressing at the Broadway entrance
to the Main Street parking lot to connect the new culvert
to the existing system. That entrance to the Main Street lot
will remain closed, as it is now, until the end of November.
The City would like to remind the public that the businesses
in the area remain open. Motorists are urged to consider alternate
routes, use extra caution when driving in the area, and to
be aware of detours, slow traffic, and construction equipment
and crews. Pedestrians are also asked to exercise additional
caution in the area. The City would like to thank drivers,
pedestrians, and businesses in the affected area for their
patience and understanding, and apologize for any inconvenience
that occurs as a result of this work. This culvert relocation
is necessary so that excavation of Redwood City’s underground
garage, and ultimately the retail/cinema project, may take
place.

recreation programs, education, City government, and local
