People pass by our Stockton Street construction site on a sunny day earlier this week.

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

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

Construction impacts are planned to change at these locations by July 22:

  • Southern SoMa (Harrison to King/Berry): Full closure of 4th Street between Harrison and Bryant will continue some evenings and weekends, including all day Saturday, July 13. Two lanes of traffic will remain open at all other times. 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.
  • North Beach: Demolition of the Pagoda Palace Theater is scheduled to take approximately four weeks to complete. For more information about construction at this site, check out this fact sheet.

At these locations, current construction impacts are planned to continue until July 22:

  • Northern SoMa (Market to Harrison): Two lanes of traffic will remain closed on 4th Street between Howard and Folsom. On 4th Street between Market and Stevenson, the sidewalk and two traffic lanes will remain closed on the eastern side of the street.
  • 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.
  • Chinatown: No construction planned

We appreciate your patience and support while we build this essential upgrade to San Francisco’s public transportation system.

    Why was there impact work happening at 4th and Folsom last night around 3:30 AM? From what I can tell, construction crews were using a sledge hammer to hit a metal pipe repeatedly! I left a message for Resident Engineer Sarah Wilson; however, i did not get a response back.

    When will tunneling actually begin? Last December I was told the 1st machine would start in Match 2013, with the 2nd machine starting April 1st 2013. In April I was told tunneling would start in May; In May , it would start in June; in June, it would start after July 4th. Now it is almost August, and the Start Date seems to still be retreating into the Future.
