Richmond Residential Pavement and Sewer Replacement Project

Project Update (Week of June 26, 2023)
Grinding and paving work will continue this week. The schedule is as follows: 

Project Description
San Francisco Public Works and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission have partnered to complete infrastructure improvements on several blocks in the Richmond neighborhood. Our partnership allows us to minimize impacts to the public by consolidating our work whenever possible. This project will include sewer main replacement, curb ramp installation, street base repairs, grinding (removal of existing asphalt) and repaving.

Construction is anticipated to start at the first location in Fall 2022 with completion expected at the last location in August 2023. San Francisco Public Works will manage the project during construction. We’ve hired JDB and Sons Construction, Inc., to perform the work. The work hours may vary by location, however the typical working hours are 7:30 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Weekend work is allowed but has not been scheduled at this time.

Below is a list of the blocks included in this contract:

47th Avenue: Balboa Street to Cabrillo Street
42nd Avenue: Geary Blvd. to Clement Street (**)
43rd Avenue: Geary Blvd. to Clement Street (**)
La Playa Street: Cabrillo Street to Fulton Street
Funston Avenue: Lake Street to California Street (**)
Funston Avenue: Clement Street to Geary Blvd. (**)
Funston Avenue: Cabrillo Street to Fulton Street (**)
24th Avenue: Geary Blvd. to Anza Street (**)
22nd Avenue: Anza Street to Balboa Street (**)
Cabrillo Street: 20th Avenue to 21st Avenue (**)
6th Avenue: Clement Street to California Street
Cornwall Street: 3rd Avenue to 4th Avenue
Lake Street: 12th Avenue to Funston Avenue
12th Avenue: California Street to Geary Blvd. 

(**) Note: These blocks will include sewer main replacement work. After the new sewer main has been installed or the existing one is lined, our engineers will review video of the sewer laterals to determine which, if any, need to be replaced. The sewer laterals are the connection between the main and the curb/sidewalk. Note: Sewer laterals are only replaced on an as-needed depending on the condition of the existing line. Sewer service will not be interrupted during construction. Please continue to use your household and business plumbing as usual. Sidewalks will remain open at all times.

Once the sewer work is complete on a block, crews will begin preparations to repave a block. Preparations can include concrete street base replacement work. This task will require the contractor saw-cut, excavate the broken concrete, and pour fresh cement. Replacing any damaged/broken street base now will help prolong the durability of the new pavement. This may happen at several locations along the block. Preparations can also include installation of curb ramps at 4-way intersections and T-intersections.
