The following Van Ness Improvement Project construction forecast is subject to change. 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, blue curb parking for people with disabilities and loading zones are being temporarily relocated. (See map for locations.)
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.
