Transit · Highway 101
All southbound US-101 lanes between Cesar Chavez and 17th Street close from 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 to 6 a.m. Monday, Oct. 19. Caltrans says use southbound I-280 or another route.
Transit · Freeways
A new Caltrans advisory says both directions of I-280 will be reduced to one lane near US-101 this weekend. The 10th Street ramp also closes, while the planned full Hospital Curve shutdown has moved.
Travel · SFO
SFO says Runway 1R should reopen no later than Sept. 29 after a six-month construction closure. Here is what that could change — and why delays may not disappear overnight.
City Hall · Homelessness
Mayor Daniel Lurie is moving the city’s homelessness contracts toward competitive, outcomes-based awards. The harder question is how success will be measured — and whether residents will be able to see it.
Weekend · Events & transit
Friday traffic was already backing up through SoMa and the 101/I-80 approaches by about 1:30 p.m. Pokémon Worlds, Giants traffic and an I-280 lane reduction beginning tonight make Saturday the pressure point.
