Project Description
San Francisco Public Works has contracted with Ronan 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. 63 (VL63). We will be performing this work in the Marina, Cow Hollow, Russian Hill and Cathedral Hill 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 February 2024 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 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekend work is allowed but has not been scheduled at this time.
Street resurfacing work will be taking place on the following blocks. Only those in bold will be receiving sewer work as well:
Scott Street from Lombard Street to Chestnut Street
Webster Street from Lombard Street to Chestnut Street
Beach Street from Pierce Street to Cervantes Street
Sharp Place from Union Street to End
Bay Street from Laguna Street to Octavia Street
Bay Street from Gough Street to Franklin Street
Larkin Street from Union Street to Vallejo Street

Project Updates
4/24/24: On Monday, April 29th through Wednesday, May 1st, we will be re-paving Scott Street between Chestnut Street and Lombard Street. The first step of this work is to repair a small patch of concrete street base in the center of the block that is currently damaged We will perform this work on Monday the 29th and Tuesday the 30th. Then, our crews will grind away the existing asphalt roadway surface and re-apply 2 new inches of asphalt to the roadway. We will be performing this work on Wednesday the 1st. This work should is expected to take three days to complete barring any unforeseen circumstances or inclement weather. During construction, all on-street parking and through traffic will be prohibited until newly-laid asphalt reaches a safe temperature for vehicles to travel on. Local access to residents of the area will remain throughout the project.
4/12/24: Starting April 16th, we will be replacing sewer laterals in two locations - on Pacific Avenue at the Polk Street intersection and on Leavenworth Street at the Clay Street intersection. We expect this work to take four days to complete in total at both locations. Once this work is complete, we will be constructing new, 10-inch thick concrete bus pads over the area that we've replaced sewer laterals. This bus pad construction work is scheduled to begin on April 25th. Once the concrete for these bus pads is poured, it will need a few days to properly dry and cure, and a portion of the street will need to be blocked off to all traffic to allow this to happen. Specifically, the bus pads will be constructed at the southeast corner of Leavenworth and Clay (in front of 1248 - 1258 Leavenworth) and at the northeast and southeast corners of Pacific and Polk (in front of 1572 Pacific and 1591 Pacific).
4/4/24: Starting April 8th, we will be replacing the sewer main on Jones Street between Lombard Street and Vallejo Street. Once we install the sewer main on this block, we will then replace any damaged sewer laterals, which are the smaller pipes that run perpendicular to the curb and connect the sewer main with household plumbing systems. We expect this work to take about 3 to 4 weeks to complete, barring any unforeseen circumstances. After sewer work on this block is complete, we will then begin sewer main replacement on Vallejo Street between Jones Street and Hyde Street. You will receive additional notice about this work in the mail roughly 10-15 days before it is schedule to begin.
3/22/24: On Monday, March 25th, we will be re-paving Peter Yorke Way between Geary Boulevard and Post Street. The first step of this work is to grind away the existing asphalt roadway surface. Then, we will re-apply 2 new inches of asphalt to the roadway. This work should is expected to take one day to complete barring any unforeseen circumstances or inclement weather. During construction, all on-street parking and through traffic will be prohibited until newly-laid asphalt reaches a safe temperature for vehicles to travel on. Local access to residents of the area will remain throughout the project.
On Tuesday, March 26th and Wednesday, March 27th, we will be re-paving Bay Street between Franklin Street and Laguna Street. The first step of this work is to grind away the existing asphalt roadway surface. We will be performing this work on Tuesday the 26th. Then, we will re-apply 2 new inches of asphalt to the roadway. We will be performing this work on Wednesday the 27th. This work should is expected to take two days to complete barring any unforeseen circumstances or inclement weather. During construction, all on-street parking and through traffic will be prohibited until newly-laid asphalt reaches a safe temperature for vehicles to travel on. Local access to residents of the area will remain throughout the project.
From March 26th through the 28th, we will be constructing a new sewer manhole at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and McCormick Street. In order to perform this work, we will need to close McCormick Street to all vehicle traffic from 8am to 5pm on Tuesday, March 26th, Wednesday March 27th and Thursday, March 28th.This means that access to all garages and driveways on McCormick Street will be restricted during these times.
If you need to access your vehicle during these periods, please make other parking and vehicle access arrangements. Roadway, driveway and garage access will be restored each evening by 5pm.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, and assure you that we will be making these necessary sewer improvements in a quick and efficient way as possible.
A few weeks after we construct this new manhole, we will be coming back to build a new raised crosswalk across McCormick at the Pacific Avenue intersection. This may require similar temporary road closures. You will receive additional notice a few weeks prior to the start of this work.
