Original bulletin

On Monday, August 28 the Embarcadero Station entrance at Market and Davis streets will be closed for up to one week for the Phase II work on a newly opened canopy. The Phase II work includes installing an access door, new glass panels, and a luminated handrail. The new entrance canopy protects our escalator at this entrance from the elements to help limit breakdowns.

While this entrance is closed, patrons will still be able to use one of the other entrances to the station. Entrances open during construction include Pine and Market streets as well as Drumm and Market streets.

Over the next 4-5 years BART will construct 16 canopies on Market Street over downtown station entrances.  As part of a separate project, new escalators will be installed at each of these locations following the canopy construction.  In addition to protecting new escalators the canopies will improve safety and reduce station maintenance costs.

We thank you for your patience as we work to complete this important construction project.  For more information on this project visit: bart.gov/about/planning/sfentrances.
