The work will keep the subway on track to open in 2019. The project will install track to connect the existing Muni T Third rail line to the under-construction Central Subway. It will also upgrade traffic signals to prioritize transit vehicles.
During construction, Muni service will experience delays and service changes. The E Embarcadero, F Market & Wharves, K Ingleside, N Judah and T Third Street lines will be affected the most. Among the changes, buses will replace trains on the T Line.
