Work along one of San Francisco’s busiest traffic corridors wrapped up early Monday after a weekend of lane closures and traffic. Caltrans reopened all lanes of 19th Avenue, also known Highway 1, around 1:30 a.m. or about three and a half hours ahead of the scheduled 5 a.m. reopening. Crews worked through the night and over the weekend to complete repaving work after closing two of the three northbound lanes Friday between Sloat Boulevard and Lincoln Way near Golden Gate Park. San Francisco Apr 23 Hwy 1 (19th Avenue) closures in San Francisco: What to know, timeline, detours San Francisco Apr 25 Business owner worried as Hwy. 1 closure in San Francisco continues “We’re very grateful for the Bay Area and the public for cooperating with us,” said Hector Chinchilla with Caltrans. “Any time you have a major road or highway closed, it’s always going to be a hassle for folks, especially here on 19th Avenue in the Sunset.” Drivers early Monday reported smoother conditions following the work, with freshly repaved lanes along the corridor. The project is not finished, however. Caltrans said two more weekends of closures are planned as part of the ongoing 19th Avenue rehabilitation effort. Crews are expected to close lanes in the southbound direction starting May 8, followed by additional work that will reduce traffic to a single lane in both directions as crews continue paving toward Holloway Avenue. Officials said more traffic impacts are expected in the coming weeks as the project continues. ...read more read less
