SFMTA will close the Twin Peaks Tunnel between Castro and West Portal stations from 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 15, through midnight on Sunday, April 16, to complete a detailed ceiling inspection. During the closure service for the K Ingleside, M Ocean View, and L Taraval Bus will be modified.
As part of our ongoing Twin Peaks Tunnel Inspection Project, SFMTA will complete a detailed structural inspection of the over two-mile-long Twin Peaks Tunnel. The inspection will require close up, in-person visual inspection as well as non-destructive testing.
This work requires significant preparation including de-energization of the overhead lines, shutdown of the track, staging of tools and equipment, mobilization of trackside equipment, and up-close inspection of the tunnel ceiling that will be performed during non-revenue hours. Multiple teams will work around the clock to complete the work. Further inspections will be scheduled at a later date and may also require service changes.
