“This is to accommodate the renovation, the rebuilding of the Chinatown Public Health Center, this is one of the most used public health centers in San Francisco’s Public Health System and the health center sits right on top of the Broadway tunnel, so this is a major seismic undertaking that were doing with a lot of construction there,” Rachel Gordon, with the SF Public Works, said
The 22-hour closure will then be followed by partial lane closures, lasting at least a year
“Starting Monday, we’re going to have partial lane closures for the next 14 months for the Broadway tunnel, so the Broadway tunnel has two bores, one going east bound, one going west bound, we will only have one bore open at a time for the next 14 months,” Gordon said
Drivers say they will be looking for alternate routes
“I just heard a little bit about how it was going to affect my commute and that, because of that, my drive was going to become, it would take longer, because everybody would be taking different routes”, Marina said
