N and J Line Rail and Street Improvements
The continuation of track improvement work on the Muni Metro system will start Friday, and will require bus substitution on the N Judah Line and disruption to the J Church Line during the weekend of Nov. 17.
The Nov. 17 weekend work on the Church & Duboce project will include track replacement inside the Muni Metro Tunnel at Duboce Portal. Should weather permit, crews will apply red paint on the center lane of Church Street from 16th Street to Duboce Avenue to make it a transit-only lane. This painting project is part of the Church Street pilot program which aims to reduce delays and improve service reliability for the J Church rail line and 22 Fillmore bus route.
The construction hours will be from 8 p.m., Friday to 5 a.m., Monday. Muni service adjustments will need to start an hour early at 7 p.m. on Friday and will continue through construction hours.
During construction the N Line will be shut down with substitute service provided by bus from Ocean Beach to Church Street at Market Street.
No N Line or J Line service will operate in the Metro subway; however, S Shuttles will provide supplemental rail service between West Portal Station and Caltrain Station at 4th and King streets.
The J Church Line will operate between the Balboa Park Station and the Church and Market streets. J Line customers will need to transfer between the Church Street Metro Station and the Church Street stop at Market and 15th streets.
Muni Service Impacts
N Judah Bus: N Judah bus will operate all weekend between Ocean Beach and Church Street at Market Street. From La Playa to Cole Street the N buses will follow the regular N Line route and stops. The service will run as an express between Cole and Carl streets and Castro Street and Duboce Avenue.
J Church: Rail service on the J Church Line will only operate between the Balboa Park Muni Metro/BART Station and Church and Market streets. J Church customers can transfer at Church and Market streets between regular J Line service on the street and Metro subway service provided by the K, L, M and T lines between Church Station and Embarcadero Station.
