Roadwork on State Route 35, also known as Skyline Boulevard, is set to begin this week, bringing nighttime and daytime construction along the route from the San Mateo County line to Sloat Boulevard in San Francisco.

In a statement, Caltrans said the project will repair areas of damaged pavement, improve the ride for motorists and extend the life of the existing roadway. Construction is scheduled to begin Wednesday at 8 p.m. on southbound Sloat Boulevard and move south through the corridor.

Work is expected to continue through mid-October, and will take place on weekdays during nighttime and daytime hours, depending on the direction of travel and the type of work being done.

For northbound traffic, work is tentatively scheduled from 8 p.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. Southbound work is tentatively scheduled from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Detours and traffic controls will be used as needed, Caltrans said. More information about the project can be found on the Caltrans website.
