REMINDER: Temporary Embarcadero Cycletrack
As a reminder, the right-hand travel lane of northbound The Embarcadero between Washington Street and Pier 23 has been closed temporarily for the implementation of a two-way cycletrack for the America’s Cup Finals races. This temporary cycletrack will end at 9 p.m., Sunday.
This bikeway runs between Washington Street, north of the Ferry Building, to the midblock pedestrian crossing at Pier 23, between Lombard and Green streets. The facility has been providing additional capacity for bikes in the areas that are expected to experience the greatest number of visitors to the America’s Cup events.
Police barricades have been used for the cycletrack. There are gaps at each intersection and midblock crossing. Local, loading and emergency access are allowed.
No parking has been allowed along the east side of northbound The Embarcadero while the bike facility is in place. There are signs to alert drivers of the lane closure.
The SFMTA recommends motorists travelling northbound in the vicinity of The Embarcadero to allow plenty of travel time and to use Sansome Street or Kearny Street as alternate routes. For details of traffic re-route, please refer to the map to the right.
