Construction on Sand Hill Road and at SLAC Main Gate

Start: 7/3/2007 9:00:00 AM

End: 8/24/2007 3:00:00 PM

The City of Menlo Park is currently repairing Sand Hill Road between Santa Cruz Avenue and I-280. At the same time, they are also renovating the sidewalks along Sand Hill Road to make them ADA accessible. This work will affect traffic in and out of SLAC's Main Gate. Please use caution in this area, as construction workers will be on the job between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. in the next few weeks to replace the sidewalks near SLAC. UPDATE: Beginning around 12:00 p.m. on Monday, July 16, construction crews will close the left turn lane into the SLAC Main Gate from southwest-bound Sand Hill Road. The closure is expected to last several hours. Anyone entering SLAC from this direction is asked to continue on Sand Hill Road until the next intersection (Monte Rosa Drive), where they should make a U-turn and enter the SLAC gate from the northeast-bound lanes. Next Wednesday, the resurfacing of Sand Hill Road will require the closure of the inbound lanes traveling through SLAC's Main Gate. Between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., all traffic in and out of the laboratory will travel through the outbound lanes. This procedure will be reversed on Thursday to allow crews to resurface the street in front of the outbound lanes. The City of Menlo Park expects significant backup on Sand Hill Road and through the Main Gate on these days. Anyone entering or exiting the SLAC site is encouraged to travel through the Main Gate before 8:30 a.m. and/or after 3:30 p.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday of next week. SLAC Today will publish more information as it becomes available. All construction along Sand Hill Road is scheduled to end by August 31, 2007.
