Caltrans Begins Yearlong Repaving of San Francisco’s 19th Avenue

Lane controls aim to keep traffic moving during the phased rehab.

Overview

  • Crews are starting at Sloat Boulevard, progressing north toward Lincoln Way, then returning south in short, section-by-section work zones.
  • Phase 1 focuses on repaving parking strips, with weekday work scheduled from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and at least two lanes kept open.
  • One lane will close in the active direction, creating localized backups, and drivers are urged to detour during peak commute periods.
  • Caltrans recommends Sunset Boulevard for motorists seeking to bypass 19th Avenue congestion.
  • Full six-lane repaving begins in spring 2026 with completion expected by December 2026, covering 18.8 miles between Lincoln Way and Holloway Avenue and including the Highway 1/California Street intersection next year.
