The utility project will be done in phases, so work will not be happening on your block for the entire project duration. Construction activity on your block will appear to be intermittent. Expect for our crews to finish a portion of work on a block and then return at a later date (sometimes months later) to work on a different aspect of work. Below is a general sequence of work in any given area. Actual sequencing of work will be known as construction nears, and more details will be shared as plans are solidified.
Water System Upgrades: Rehabilitate or replace water mains and connect existing service laterals. This will involve a temporary interruption of water service to connect individual property's water laterals to the new water main. Advance notice will be provided. Work may be performed at night to accommodate neighborhood businesses which are affected by the temporary interruption of water service.
Sewer System Upgrades: Rehabilitate or replace sewer main and connect existing laterals. Sewer service in the area will not be interrupted.
Transit and Safety Improvements: Work by the SFMTA, including sidewalk extensions (“bulbs”), new pedestrian medians and traffic signal work will be performed at spot locations. Learn more at SFMTA.com/Geary.
Roadway repaving: Once the entire project has been completed, final paving will be performed by SF Public Works.

Additional factors are being evaluated to reduce construction impacts, including having multiple crews working and doing as much concurrent work as possible.
