PRESS RELEASE. From San Mateo County Public Works.
The new Mirada Road Pedestrian Bridge in Miramar along the Half Moon Bay Coastal Trail was installed Thursday, May 4, marking a major milestone in completing this Department of Public Works project. The aluminum bridge was delivered in two segments and required a 159,000 pound eight-axle crane for installation.
Work to build a stairwell down to the beach is slated to begin mid-June. The detour route along Highway 1 is still open and will remain accessible until the pedestrian bridge officially opens. The beach area, however, has been restored and is open to the public.
UPDATE. April 2023 – On Thursday 4/20/2023 the Pedestrian Bridge was delivered to the Mirada Rd Cul-De-Sac, and the 2-bridge segments were spliced together. The company that operates the 159,000 lbs 8 axles crane, needed to install the bridge, is still waiting on Caltrans to allow/permit the crane to drive down HWY 92. As of the 4/26/2023 morning Caltrans had not permitted the crane to drive down HWY 92 towards Mirada Rd.
The Brand New Aluminum Supply Chain Challenged Medio Bridge Arrives in Miramar; Installation Coming
PHOTO ESSAY. Due to high winds the contractor will wait until Tuesday, April 24th, 2023, to install. After installation, final connections may take a couple more weeks before opening.
Stay tuned!
Why waste money on a stairwell when the coastal armoring means there won’t be much of a beach, if any, there?
