The following street closure will be required from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., each construction day:

• Westbound West Portal Avenue from 15th Avenue to Sloat Boulevard

Through traffic on West Portal Avenue will detour south on 15th Avenue to Portola Drive and back to Sloat Boulevard. Local access for businesses and residents on West Portal Avenue will be maintained.

During construction, flaggers will be on site to monitor and assist with traffic flow.
