Bummer, lots of weekday closures coming up. Passing this along, bold emphasis mine:

Beginning Monday, June 6, 2016, there will be no access to the San Andreas segment of Crystal Springs Regional Trail at San Bruno Avenue. Trail access can be made at the Hillcrest Boulevard entrance. At this time San Mateo County Parks does not have a projected end date. This closure is necessary to resurface the road following a line repair. 

In addition, beginning on June 13 through July 1, part of the southern section of Sawyer Camp Trail will be closed to thru trail traffic on weekdays, from approximately mile marker 1-1/4 to mile 3-1/2 (the Jepson Laurel) for public safety during habitat restoration in the Peninsula Watershed. 

Large equipment will be in use on the trail to prepare the area for habitat restoration efforts and it is not safe for trail users. The entire trail will be open on weekends. 

Although the trail is closed to thru traffic, it will be open for the first approximately 1.25 miles from the South Gate at Crystal Springs, and for approximately 2.5 miles from the North Gate at Hillcrest for trail users. 

Bicyclists wanting thru access should use alternative routes during this period. 

Upcoming restoration activity will include the physical removal of invasive vegetation and trees that have choked out native plants. These activities will affect this same portion of Sawyer Camp trail. 

Future Schedule: 
July 5 to July 29, weekday evening closures for off-hauling of vegetation: 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. 
Tentative: August – October 2016: Trail will be closed weekdays to thru traffic for tree removal and off-hauling. 

As part of the work, approximately 3 miles of trail will be restored and resurfaced, from the South Gate to the Jepson Laurel.
