Construction Update June 2024

Week of June 24th through July 30th, 2024 

Construction crews continue working this week on Folsom Street between 11th and 8th Street.  Crews are rebuilding the culverts and catch-basins as well as potholing in preparation for side-sewer lateral work.  This work will continue for the next couple of weeks.   

We have encountered an unexpected conflict in this segment between 8th and 11th Street resulting in some modifications to our work sequencing.  Our intended schedule had crews working eastbound from 11th Street, we now need to pivot and start mobilizing earlier than anticipated in the segments located between 2^nd-8^th Streets to keep the project moving forward. We have dispatched a small crew to start potholing the roadway on Folsom Street in the segments from 2nd St. to 8th St.  Potholing allows us to verify the pre-existing utilities underground before we start digging.  This scope takes about 1-week per block to complete and should have minimal impacts.   Should our underground investigation prove successful and there are no conflicts we will proceed with the replacement of the side-sewer lateral lines to properties (2-weeks maximum per block).

Following this work will be the main-line sewer rehabilitation which will be a cast in-place sewer-lining process 2^nd to 3^rd and 4^th -5^th.  This means you will not see an open trench as the work occurs underground with small crews at the surface manholes.  This work occurs around the clock (24-7) and will take approximately for 3-days to complete per block.

The sewer main replacement between 3rd and 4^th Street will be an open trench (600-feet) and will take approximately 1-2-weeks to complete.

Project Description and Scope of Work:

SF Public Works has hired Mitchell Engineering to perform vital infrastructure improvements along Folsom Street between 2nd Street to 11th Street.  The Folsom Streetscape Project beginning in May of 2024 has an overall duration of 2-years, 7-months (950-days) and is divided into three (3)-segments to help minimize impacts along the entire corridor. 

The project scope of work consists of sewer and water replacement, curb ramp reconstruction, pavement renovation landscaping, street lighting, and traffic signals.  Starting in June 2024, crews will prioritize working in the segment of Folsom Street from 11th St to 8th.

We are aware of the inconvenience caused by construction and apologize in advance. We will do everything possible to minimize the impact of our activities on your neighborhood. If you have concerns (scheduled deliveries, construction questions, accessibility needs, and access) please contact Public Affairs, Dadisi Najib. We will do everything possible to find a mutually agreeable solution.
