L Taraval Improvement Project
Segment B Update – July 1 - 13, 2024
The L Taraval Improvement Project is on track to be completed this fall. The most disruptive work to replace sewer, water, rail lines, streetbase and repaving the entire corridor has been completed.
We are completing installation of boarding islands with rails and tiles, and adding landscaping, artwork and safety features such as high-visibility crosswalks.
Train Testing
The Overhead Contact System (OCS) lines have been energized for the initial testing of trains. Workers are in the area testing ground conduits and infrastructure to accommodate trains. If you are driving or working in the area, please stay alert around trains and crews during testing.
To ensure the safety of the public, a permit is required for any contractors that are planning to work within 10 feet of the overhead wires. Please reach out to the project team with any questions: LTaravalProject@SFMTA.com or 415.646.2379
