ELEASE. 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.

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?
