Motorists coming down the King Street offramp from I-280 will need to take a right turn at 5th and a left on Berry to travel through the area. Once on Berry, drivers will be able to go through to 3rd Street, where they can make a right or left turn. Vehicles traveling south on 4th Street will not be able to travel past King to Berry. Both lanes on Berry will be converted to go eastbound between 5th and 3rd. Motorists traveling west on King will not be affected. Please take these temporary detours into consideration when traveling through the area.
]]>The summer of 2015 is coming to a close with a brunch of activity! The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is focused on projects that will make transportation safer and more reliable. In addition, BART will be shutting down the Transbay Tube for weekend track repairs. And Billy Joel is in town for a concert on Saturday, September 5 at AT&T Park.
For the Central Subway project, crews will be installing track and making infrastructure upgrades at the intersection of 4th and King Streets this Friday, Sept. 4 through Tuesday, Sept. 8. This is planned as a two phased project, with the second phase scheduled for early 2016.
Work will begin at 10p.m. Friday, September 4 and continue ‘round the clock through early morning Tuesday, September 8. Construction on Friday September 4 is anticipated to cause a significant amount of noise due to jack-hammering from 10 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday as crews break into a 16-inch thick pavement at 4th and King to prepare for replacing tracks and switches.
The road work will impact Muni travel as well as people driving, walking and biking in the area. Here’s what to expect:
Muni Metro
Traffic
Pedestrians and Bicyclists
All this construction will have a great end result. When open in 2019, the Central Subway will connect neighborhoods and provide faster and safer transportation to BART and other Muni lines. To learn more about the project visit www.centralsubwaysf.com.
