A worker prepares a concrete cylinder for installation underground. The cylinder is one component of a wall that will eventually be integrated into the Union Square/Market Street Station.

During the next 10 days, construction to prepare for tunneling will continue in SoMa and Union Square. No Central Subway construction is planned in Chinatown or North Beach; however, demolition of the Pagoda Palace in North Beach is slated to begin in mid-June.

For descriptions of construction impacts in each neighborhood, click here or on the links below. We also post construction information on our project Google Map.

Construction impacts are planned to change at these locations by May 27:

  • Northern SoMa (Market to Harrison): On 4th Street between Howard and Folsom, two lanes of traffic will remain open, but the traffic configuration will change starting Thursday, May 23 (details at the Northern SoMa link). On 4th Street between Market and Stevenson, the sidewalk and two traffic lanes will remain closed on the eastern side of the street.
  • North Beach: No construction planned before May 27, but demolition of the Pagoda Palace is scheduled to begin in mid-June. For more information, check out this construction notice.

At these locations, current construction impacts are planned to continue until May 27:

  • Southern SoMa (Harrison to King/Berry): Full closure of 4th Street between Harrison and Bryant will continue on some evenings and weekends. Two lanes of traffic will remain open at all other times. Please contact us at central.subway@sfmta.com if you have questions about the closure schedule. On Bryant Street at 5th Street, the left lane and several parking spaces will remain closed.
  • Union Square: Stockton Street between Geary and Ellis will remain closed to vehicle traffic. Ellis Street between Stockton and Powell will remain closed to westbound traffic.
