Caltrans will close parts of 19th Avenue over three spring weekends as it begins the final phase of a major repaving project on one of San Francisco’s busiest corridors, the agency announced Wednesday.
The work starts April 24 and will affect 19th Avenue (State Route 1), between Lincoln Way and Holloway Avenue, according to Caltrans. The project follows a first phase completed in January.
Caltrans said limiting construction to three weekends will reduce the public impact “from 40 to nine days.” During each closure, two lanes are scheduled to be closed, with one lane open for Muni, emergency responders and local access.
Parking will be restricted in work zones along 19th Avenue during the closures, though parking will remain available on nearby side streets, according to Caltrans.
Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes. During the first weekend, detours will include routes via Junipero Serra Boulevard and Brotherhood Way, the agency said.
