Project Update (Updated on 7/13):
The project has reached substantial completion and all major work is complete. However, over the next several weeks, you'll see the contractor performing punch list work prior to the project close-out. Any corrective action work will be short in duration but can happen along different sections of the project limits. We thank you for your continued patience during construction.
Project Description:
Harrison Street is a heavily traveled arterial traffic route associated with three Bay Bridge ramps: two on-ramps (at Essex Street and at First Street) and one off-ramp (at Fremont Street). The Harrison Street Improvement Project will improve safety, accessibility, and the aesthetic qualities of Harrison Street between Essex Street and the Embarcadero and also Fremont Street between Folsom Street and Harrison Street.
The streetscape improvements will include new infill street trees and understory planting; improved pedestrian and roadway lighting; bulb-outs and curb ramps; new sidewalk paving, special pavers in the furnishing zone, where trees and lighting are installed; and street furnishings including bike racks, and trash receptacles. This project will also include replacement and/or relining of the sewer main along several blocks of Harrison Street. The first location of sewer main replacement will be Harrison Street between Beale and First streets. Please note, not all blocks will include sewer main replacement and/or rehabilitation work.
Completion of the project is expected in June 2023.
In order to minimize any impacts associated with construction, and to ensure the entire limits aren’t under construction all at once for the 18-month duration, this project will be completed in segments. Although work can happen concurrently in both segments, a completion timeline has been placed on each segment to minimize the impact. The segments are as follow:
Segment A: Harrison Street (Essex St. to Beale St. Bridge) - Approximately an 8½ month duration
Segment B: Harrison Street (Embarcadero to Beale St. Bridge) - Approximately an 8½ month duration
