Entrance Closure Alert: Embarcadero Station entrance in front of Federal Reserve to close for canopy work 10/18

Article updated 10/12/23 to reflect that construction will begin 10/18, not 10/19

An entrance to Embarcadero Station between Spear and Main Streets, in front of the Federal Reserve Bank, is scheduled to close October 18th for construction of a new canopy. The entrance is expected to remain closed until Spring 2024. 

Four alternative entrances will remain open, including the entrance at Market and Davis Streets where a new canopy has just been completed. 

BART has finished six canopies over station entrances along Market Street and 13 more will be built, including the canopy at the entrance referenced above. The new canopies protect escalators and provide additional wayfinding, lighting, real-time information and security cameras. 

The canopy project is proceeding in conjunction with a program to replace 40 escalators and add one new escalator at the four downtown San Francisco stations.
