Millbrae Roadwork To Cause Closures, Traffic Delays

MILLBRAE, CA — Storm drain upgrades and pavement repairs will bring partial road closures and traffic disruptions to several Millbrae streets.

Work is underway on Tioga Drive, Laurel Avenue and Green Hills Drive to address recurring flooding and improve drainage capacity, according to the city's Public Works Department.

The project also includes water and sewer line replacements to improve underground infrastructure.

Construction is taking place in two phases:

• Tioga Drive: Crews are upgrading storm drains and repairing pavement between Helen Drive and Richmond Drive, near Bill Mitchell Park. Partial road closures are expected through Nov. 18.
• Laurel Avenue and Green Hills Drive: Workers are replacing storm drains, installing drainage pipelines and repairing pavement and sidewalks. Intermittent traffic restrictions and partial road closures will affect Laurel Avenue between Cypress Court and Helen Drive and Green Hills Drive between Laurel Avenue and Shamrock Court.

The second phase began Nov. 2 and is scheduled to continue through Dec. 11. Affected roads will reopen daily by 5 p.m.

City officials said the improvements will help reduce localized flooding, including recurring water buildup along Helen Drive, while strengthening drainage infrastructure.
