Project Overview

San Francisco Public Works is pleased to announce the VL 70 Pavement Renovation Project, a citywide effort to improve the safety, accessibility, and overall condition of neighborhood streets.

Through a contract with Ronan Construction, Inc., Public Works will deliver coordinated pavement and accessibility improvements while working to minimize disruptions to residents, businesses, and visitors.

By consolidating construction activities whenever possible, this project is designed to reduce repeated impacts to the public while efficiently completing critical infrastructure upgrades.

Construction activities and specific work elements will vary by location depending on existing site conditions.
