Southbound Hwy 101 to Southbound Hwy 1 Ramp Closure, November 18

SAN FRANCISCO - There will be an overnight closure of the southbound connection from Highway 101/Doyle Drive to Highway 1/Park Presidio Boulevard this weekend as part of improvements to the interchange. Beginning Friday, November 18 at 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. the next morning, southbound Highway 1 at Doyle Drive will be closed.

The closure is weather dependent and may be delayed due to rain. The alternate date for this closure is Saturday, November 19.

See the advisory for maps and detour routes.

The closure was scheduled for a time when traffic volumes are lowest and crews can work safely without endangering the traveling public.

Detour Routes
Detour signage will direct southbound travelers to continue on Highway 101 (Lombard Street and Van Ness Avenue) to Geary Boulevard to Highway 1/Park Presidio Boulevard. This detour route was selected because it is able to carry a high volume of traffic and uses relatively flat streets. The signed detour must be accessible to all vehicles, including large trucks, motor homes, etc.; however, most people will choose their alternate route based on what is most convenient for where they are coming from and going to.
