Various Locations Pavement Renovation and Sewer Replacement No. 59

San Francisco Public Works has contracted with Michael O’Shaughnessy Construction Inc. to install new sewer utilities and renovate the roadway at various locations in San Francisco as part of the Various Locations Pavement Renovation and Sewer Replacement Project No. 59 (VL59). We will be performing this work in the Central Bayview, Twin Peaks, Eureka Valley and Duboce Park neighborhoods. 

We have inspected the sewer facilities of all the blocks listed below, and will be replacing those that we found to be cracked and/or broken.  Replacing these pipes now will prevent possible collapse of the sewer mains and pavement in the future. Sewer service will not be interrupted during the construction.  Pavement Renovation and Sewer replacement work will occur between September 2023 and September 2024.

This project will include sewer main replacement, curb ramp installation, street base repairs and repaving. Work hours will vary by location, however, typical working hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekend work is allowed but has not been scheduled at this time.
