From Sunday, January 17 through Tuesday, January 19, crews will conduct emergency sewer and sinkhole repairs under the rails on Church Street between 22nd and 24th streets.

  • The J Church will be served by bus shuttles at all times between Church & 22nd streets and Balboa Park Station. Southbound trains will switch back at Church & 22nd.
  • During daytime and early evening hours, customers must transfer between J bus and J rail at Church & 22nd streets. 
  • After 9:30 pm nightly, all service on the J Church and N Judah will be served by bus shuttles.
    • At Church & Market streets, J and N customers must transfer to and from the K/L/M Muni Metro Shuttle to travel between The Embarcadero and West Portal Station / St. Francis Circle due to ongoing early subway shutdowns.
    • J/N bus shuttles will run between Balboa Park Station, Church & Duboce Avenue, and Judah & La Playa streets (Ocean Beach). At Duboce & Church, inbound J shuttles will become outbound N shuttles, and vice versa.
