The following Van Ness Improvement Project construction forecast is subject to change due to weather or unforeseen conditions. For more project details, please visit sfmta.com/vanness.
Work is planned over the next months to create two construction zones: one southbound on Van Ness Avenue from Sutter to McAllister streets, and another northbound from Jackson to Lombard streets. These work areas will be approximately five feet from the building line to approximately the center of the roadway.
To make space for these construction zones, the following changes will occur:
- Blue curb parking for people with disabilities and loading zones is being temporarily relocated (see map for locations)
- Bus stop located on southbound Van Ness at McAllister Street has been relocated south a few hundred feet south from its original location at the southwest corner
Project staff is reaching out directly to businesses and residents on blocks that are impacted by these changes. See the full schedule of expected activities below.
Those who travel in and through the area are advised to take alternate routes and plan for delays.
