Sewer Upgrades Begin Along Embarcadero

Posted on by

The City has begun work on the Force Main Rehabilitation at Embarcadero and Jackson Improvements project. This project will complete the rehabilitation of the North Shore Force Main sewer serving 350,000 customers in the northeastern part of San Francisco.

Activities will occur along The Embarcadero between Piers 1 and 7.  Expect traffic delays as partial lane closures will be necessary to ensure public and worker safety during construction. See notice for full details and a map with suggested detour routes.

Construction is estimated to last 18 months, so completion should occur during winter, 2021. Weather and/or construction issues may impact the schedule. Workdays and hours (weather permitting) are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 4 pm. Some night and weekend work may be required.
