Creating a greener Market Street! This week, we began planting new street trees in the Mid-Market corridor as part of Phase 1 of the Better Market Street project.

During street base and re-paving work, both the eastbound and westbound bicycle lanes on Market Street will be closed 24/7.

Please use the established bicycle detour routes that are marked by orange signs set up throughout the area. They are also shown below

In the locations mentioned above, the concrete street base will be repaired first, and new asphalt road surfacing will be applied once the new concrete street base is poured and properly cured.

However, due to an unforeseen issue with the Muni Overhead Catenary System (OCS) lines in the area, we cannot start planned street base and paving work at this time. We will provide an updated schedule for this work as soon as it is established.

STREET BASE REPAIR AND REPAVING ON MARKET STREET HAS BEEN POSTPONED

This work, which is part of the Better Market Street project, was originally scheduled to take place on Market Street between 5th and 8th Streets and begin on Monday, August 19th.

[Better Market Street @BetterMarketSF]

We ask that all cyclists use the designated detour routes that are marked by the orange metal signs in the area. For more information about upcoming construction and its impacts, as well as bicycle route detours, please visit https://t.co/9EKceGBo9V

During street base repair and repaving work, both the eastbound and westbound bicycle lanes on Market Street will be closed 24/7.

This closure is necessary to allow our crews the space needed to properly perform this work, and for the newly-poured concrete to properly cure.

As crews finish their current work at the Market, 5th and Cyril Magnin intersection, focus will shift to the block of Market between 7th and McAllister/Jones. This work was recently added to the BMS Phase 1 contract to complete the segment between 5th Street and 8th Street.
