Traffic Closure on Market Street This Friday Night for Construction

The San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) and their contractor A. Ruiz Construction will be performing roadway improvements along five intersections of the Market Street corridor between 6^th and 10^th Streets.  This work is scheduled for this Friday, October 25^th starting at 11:00pm and will end Saturday night, October 26th, 2013 at 7:00pm.

Traffic along Market Street will be closed between 6^th and 10^th Street for the duration of the project.  Crews will work around the clock, with the goal of completing the project within 24 hours.  This coordinated effort involves the SFPUC sewer operations crews (some sewer work will be done at the same time), DPW and SFMTA .  The work will consist of grinding away the old asphalt in the intersections and repaving them with new asphalt and painted traffic lanes to create a smoother ride for cyclists and motorists.

• Market Street will be closed in both directions between 10^th Street and 6^th Street to all motorists, bicycles, taxis and buses. The closure will occur 11:00pm, Friday October 25^th until Saturday night October 26^th , 2013 at 7:00pm.
• The impacted intersections between 6^th Street and 10^th Street will be intermittently closed during this time.  (see intersections and times below)
• Market Street and intersection crossings will remain open/accessible for pedestrians.
• Public transit that runs along Market Street between 10^th-6^th Streets will be rerouted onto Mission Street and will utilize existing Mission Street bus-stops. MTA reroute information to follow shortly.
• Motorists should avoid the area to minimize delays.
