This notice provides a construction update and a look ahead for what to expect in the areas where we are building four new stations along the alignment. You’ll find information about work activities, traffic and transportation impacts taking place over the next two weeks at SoMa, Yerba Buena|Moscone, Union Square and Chinatown.

With the holiday season upon the City, the Central Subway team is planning the second annual Winter Walk in Union Square. Stockton Street between Ellis Street and Geary Street will be transformed into a winter wonderland from Thanksgiving through the New Year.  This was a great success last year and will be even better this year.  We hope all San Franciscans enjoy this celebration.

Construction schedules, bus routes, and stop locations are subject to change due to unforeseen conditions. Signs will be posted at affected stops to advise of service changes.

Our thanks goes out to the businesses, residents, shoppers, commuters, and all those who are touched by the Project, for their continued engagement as we work to extend the city’s public transportation system.
