Here is what is happening on Folsom Street :
Upcoming Work: Flat Work between 6th Street and 8th Street
Construction crews are actively performing concrete flat work along Folsom Street between 6th Street and 8th Street through Saturday, November 30. The scope includes the removal of the concrete parking strips as well as MAJOR sidewalk removal up to the property lines at the corners and some mid-block locations.
What to Expect
Please note: The first and second day of demolition will be noisy as crews cut, demolish/break out and remove the old concrete. After that, crews will build forms, install temporary plywood ramps for access and mark the area with orange barriers during the new sidewalk, curb and gutter pours. This phase is expected to wrap up by late November (within 7-8 weeks).
