22nd, 23rd, and Dolores Streets Infrastructure Improvements Project

Project Description

San Francisco Public Works and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission have partnered to complete infrastructure improvements on several blocks of 22nd Street, 23rd Street and Dolores Street. Our partnership allows us to minimize impacts to the public by consolidating our work whenever possible. This project will include sewer main replacement, curb ramp installation, street base repairs and repaving. Only some blocks will include sewer main replacement work. Work hours will vary by location. However, typical working hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekend work is allowed but has not been scheduled at this time.

The blocks included in this contract are as follows:

• 23rd Street: Capp Street to Folsom Street - Complete

• 22nd Street: Harrison Street to Bryant - Complete

• 22nd Street: Bryant to Potrero Avenue - Complete

• Dolores Street: Cesar Chavez Street to Day Street​ - Complete

The following blocks are scheduled to include sewer work:

• 23rd Street: South Van Ness to Folsom Street - Complete

• 22nd Street: Bryant Street to Hampshire Street - Complete

• Dolores Street: Cesar Chavez Street to 27th Street / Both sides of the center median - Complete

• Dolores Street: Duncan Street to 28th Street / Both sides of the center median - Complete

• Dolores Street: Valley Street to 29th Street / Both sides of the center median - Complete

The typical sequence of sewer work is to install the main along the block(s) followed by sewer lateral replacement. Once the sewer main has been installed, Public Works’ engineering team will review video of the sewer laterals to determine which, if any, need to be replaced. The laterals are the sewer connection between the main and the curb. Crews will then schedule any lateral replacement work. Please note, sewer laterals will only be replaced on an as-needed basis between the main and sidewalk. Sewer service will not be interrupted during construction. Please continue to use your household and business plumbing as usual.

During sewer replacement, driveway access may be impacted while crews work on your block. Please allow extra travel time should crews need to plate over the trench and create a path for your vehicle. If crews are working in front of your house, please let them know a few minutes before you need to exit your driveway. They may need to create a path of travel for your vehicle. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during construction.

Once the sewer work has been completed on a block, crews will begin preparations to repave the block. Preparations may include installation of curb ramps, concrete street base repairs, grinding (removal of existing asphalt) and roadway paving.
