Entrance Closure Alert: Embarcadero Davis at Market Streets

September 6 update:

The closure has been extended to Sunday, September 15 due to unforeseen complications. We thank you for your patience.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BART’s escalator contractor will close the Embarcadero Station entrance located at Davis and Market (stairway and escalator) this Friday, August 30 to Sunday, September 8.  This full entrance closure is necessary to complete installation of panels at the entrance. 

Please note there will be two entrance closures at the Embarcadero Station during this 10-day period.  A map below shows the open entrances and elevator location.  Wayfinding signs will be installed on the barricades inside the station and on the street level to detour pedestrian traffic from this entrance. 

BART crews are busy working on the single largest contract for escalator replacement in BART history.  The Market Street Escalators Renovation Project team is working to install and replace 41 escalators at Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell, and Civic Center stations.  Of the escalators to be replaced, 23 are street to concourse level and 18 connect concourse with station platforms.  Project completion is expected to be in 2026.
