abc 7 news. thank you if you were someone, you know needs help dealing with the trauma of gun violence. you can find a local ally by going to abc 7 news com slash take action drivers use 101 in san mateo county have watched for two years. well caltrans spends more than half a billion dollars to install new express lanes. the project is now being delayed into next year. but why is that abc 7 news item reporter, dan noyes has been looking for answers and he joins us with this story. i feel the frustration already. well then we respond to your complaints and this is one of them the paving on these smooth new lanes is done. so why can't we use them now? traffic on 101 and san mateo county is returning to pre-pandemic levels. construction of new express lanes isn't helping look at some slow traffic here. this is due to the san mateo 101 express lanes project. we're looking at feeds averaging around 12 and 24 miles per hour the project to reduce congestion is setting up toll lanes free to

cars with three or more passengers reduced fares for two passengers or clean air vehicles. solo drivers can pay full price to use the express lanes the cost will go up or down depending on how crowded the lane is, but there have been delays the target for completion when the project began was mid-2022, but two weeks ago the project manager announced opening date will be next year. perhaps february or march the contractor opted to do things out of sequence and as a result had to actually do correct take corrective actions that add in time to the schedule those nice new express lanes have fresh pavement, but are blocked off by orange markers and that drivers nobody up, please. i don't like to be stuck in traffic. what are they doing? what are they really doing put down cones for a living? we don't pay for that crew still have to finish installing overhead toll sensors and that work is done at night, but they keep those cones up all day. i work construction.

so i understand guys go take breaks, but you don't put cones out of life freeway then go take a break for months and months. yeah over year two years that's just ghost cones everywhere. i went to the san mateo county transit district to interview the chair of the joint powers authority that oversees the express lanes project. there's sensors. there's some fabrication that still needs to be installed and there's the testing of it that is currently going on, correct, but the on scene work is being done overnight, isn't it? a lot of that particular with the sensor reading is being done overnight medina staff says those markers are actually a fix to the pavement with an adhesive. they have to change over to movable cones. they also have to install signs and roadside tolling equipment, but that work will also be done overnight. i just see that in other parts of the bay area if there's construction overnight, they put up the cones and they do it overnight and by the morning, they're gone. why can't you do that? i think what we're trying to do is to make sure that we don't add confusion to when we start to go through the testing cycle and in addition when we start

opening it up after a 20 minute interview. we still couldn't agree on the wisdom of keeping those lanes blocked during the day even when no work is being done. it still doesn't make sense to me rico. i'm sorry. that's all right dance, but medina says they do listen to feedback from drivers. there are a lot of things behind the scenes as far as safety or whether it's just trying to get things done established on a timeline. and so we're trying to keep all of that factor. here's your chance. i'm posting contact info from radina and his staff at the express lanes project at abc 7. news.com. he says he wants to hear what you think, please do dan dion. i am sure a lot of people will want to make their opinions known dan. thanks very much. well 60 year old man is in the hospital after his car plunged off highway 1 in san mateo county. the accident happened just south of the devil slide tunnel all lanes are now open once again after being shut down during the morning commute the car plummeted 600 feet to the sand
