An additional lane has been reopened to traffic on 4th Street between Howard and Folsom streets.
During the next 10 days, Central Subway work continues at sites in SoMa, Union Square, Chinatown and North Beach. This post contains brief updates about recent construction activities and a look-ahead for what to expect in each neighborhood. For more detailed information, click here or on the links below.

Construction work on Stockton Street in Union Square has paused for the holiday season. Work within the station sites, underground work, and night work has continued. See your neighborhood section below for details.

We thank the businesses, residents, shoppers, and commuters of San Francisco for their continued engagement with this significant investment in the extension of our public transportation system. When opened in 2019, the Central Subway will provide a much-needed connection between major employment, retail, cultural and residential areas of the city.
