Vehicle and bicycle access across the bridge will be available via one northbound and one southbound traffic lane. Pedestrians will have access to a sidewalk on the east side of the bridge.
The next round of full bridge closures will occur between July 25 through August 5. Bridge closure preparation activity will begin the evening of July 24, 2019. Access across the Third Street Bridge will be restricted for all vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic.

Additional periods of temporary full bridge closures may occur in September and October 2019, as necessary, to complete remaining rehabilitation work. Information will be shared closer to that period once additional closures details are finalized.) Every effort will be made by the contractor to minimize construction related noise impacts during nighttime work, but please note that general construction related noise from the use of, including, but not limited to; heavy equipment such as forklifts, generators and manual hammering, is to be expected.
SUGGESTED VEHICLE, BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN DETOUR ROUTES:
• Pedestrian Detour

ACCESS TO CHANNEL STREET AND 4TH STREET BRIDGE
Local access is ALLOWED for all residents on Channel Street and Third Street. Please check in with parking control officers should you require local access. Please note, access may be delayed due to traffic conditions and to obey all traffic directions from parking control officers onsite.
4th Street Bridge is open and access across the bridge is generally available throughout the Third Street Bridge closure. Please note that during Peak Commute Hours (M-F 7 AM to 10 AM and 3 PM to 7 PM), at the discretion of parking control officers and SFPD, access may be temporarilyrestricted to clear congested traffic through the area and to allow trains through. Vehicles will be redirected to alternative detour routes. We STRONGLY encourage drivers to use detour route #4 (16th St > 7th St > Townsend St > 3rd St) during peak commute hours for northbound travel.
BERRY STREET BIKE LANE
To accommodate rerouted bicycle traffic, SFMTA has temporarily installed a protected westbound bicycle lane along the north side curb of Berry Street between 3rd and 4th streets. The temporary bike lane will remain in place between full closure periods. Parking spaces along Berry Street have been shifted to be adjacent to the temporary bike lane. Some parking spaces adjacent to driveways are temporarily unavailable to help improve visibility. Please DO NOT park or pull into the bicycle lane or crosshatched area at any time and utilize designated loading and unloading zones and parking spaces adjacent to the bike lane as needed. Trash dumpsters may be put in the parking spaces (not in the bike lane or crosshatched area) for collection as normal.
Additional construction details and project information are available on the project web page at www.sfpublicworks.org/thirdstreetbridge

As part of an on-going research project, last fall, the SFMTA Curb Management Group conducted interviews with you and other property managers in the South of Market, Mission Bay and Dogpatch neighborhoods to obtain information about onsite parking at your facility. Thank you again for helping us gather this important information.
The next phase of the project is to survey neighborhood residents and this summer, the SFMTA will be mailing a short survey to residents in your buildings. The purpose of the survey is to gather information about residents’ typical travel and parking patterns. This information will help the SFMTA better prepare for future demand on the transportation system due to population and job growth. Below and attached, is a description of the study we are conducting and its purpose. If you have any questions about the study or the survey, please contact Kathie Studwell, program manager, at 415-701-5708 or Kathryn.Studwell@sfmta.com.
Background
By 2040, the City of San Francisco’s population will increase by nearly 100,000 people. Much of this growth will occur in the City’s eastern neigh orhoods: South of Market, Mission Bay and Dogpatch. To prepare for anticipated impacts on the City’s transportation system, the SFMTA’s Parking and Curb Management Group has embarked on a study of residents’ travel and parking patterns.
Most of the anticipated growth will be in the form of large, mixed-use buildings (residential + commercial). The SFMTA will be surveying residents currently living in multi-family buildings similar to those planned or under construction. The survey results will generate information about residents’ travel modes (transit, car share, walk, bike, etc.), vehicle ownership, and vehicle parking. Responses to the survey will help SFMTA estimate the future demand for transportation infrastructure, such as car-share services, bike lanes, on-street parking and pedestrian loading zones generated by population and job growth.
In addition, the SFMTA would like to better understand whether parking availability in residential areas affects ownership and use of personal vehicles. Towards that end, the survey will provide information that could assist the SFMTA in determining the best approach to implementing best practices in parking management in areas impacted by significant new housing development.
Results of the survey will be posted on the project website in late summer or fall.

Starting Thursday, May 16, 2019*, crews will begin suspended platform installation activity on the bridge that will require short periods of temporary full closure of the bridge in each direction to all pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle traffic. Access will be restricted for up to 10 minutes at a time, with up to 4 closure periods per day between the hours of 7 AM and 3 PM. Temporary closures to allow for suspended platform installation is anticipated to be completed by Thursday, May 23, 2019*, depending on suitable weather conditions. Crews plan to work on Saturday, May 18, 2019.
I have a long-awaited update on the opening of Mission Bay streets: the Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced a target date of May 3rd for the opening of Channel Street and Mission Bay Blvd N and S.
A dedicated point person, Brook Mebrahtu, has been appointed within DPW to push us through the last steps, and he has been very effective. The final step we are waiting on is the installation of some stop signs and sidewalk striping before next Friday.
Also, please save the date for the Grand Opening of the Mission Bay Dog Park on May 18th.
Thank you all for your continued advocacy and engagement on getting our streets and parks open!!
