5th Avenue (Redwood City) Grade Separation |

Work began in March 1994 to separate the railroad
tracks from Fifth Avenue in unincorporated San Mateo County. The road was
lowered 25 feet below the track, which remained at the existing level. The
project improved safety and traffic conditions on Fifth Avenue between El
Camino Real and Middlefield Road and improved visibility on a curving
section of track.
A key benefit of the project is the separate pedestrian and vehicular bridges parallel to the train tracks, in addition to the elimination of an at-grade crossing. The project included extensive beautification features, including stone work on retaining walls, landscaping and old-fashioned street lights. A gala summertime ceremony marked the completion of this $18 million project in 1997, which included a new four-lane underpass below three bridges. |
