Work is scheduled to begin this week on the installation of a new five-foot diameter drinking water pipeline across Crestview Drive at Edgewood Road in San Mateo County. Due to the large equipment needed for this major pipeline installation, traffic controls will be in place during work hours and motorists may experience traffic delays in both directions of Crestview Drive, near Edgewood Par, according to officials from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Work will take place weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. During these work hours, the traffic flow on Crestview Drive will be reduced to one lane in each direction. Work at this location is expected to continue for up to four weeks, according to the PUC.

This construction is part of the SFPUC Water System Improvement Program, a $4.6 billion bond-funded program to seismically upgrade and repair the regional water system’s aging pipelines, tunnels and dams. This Bay Division Peninsula project includes a nine-mile, five-foot diameter welded steel pipeline seismically designed to withstand an earthquake, and will allow the SFPUC to take existing, older pipelines out of service for maintenance and repair, according to the PUC.
For any questions or concerns about the construction, please call the 24-hour project hotline, (800) 571-6610 or visit the construction blog at www.sfwater.org/penpl.
