SDOT’s demolition contractor had planned nighttime lane closures on Mercer Street through Friday of this week in order to do some work on the Mercer Corridor project. However, today SDOT canceled the lane closures. The reasoning for the change of plans:
During demolition the contractor encountered larger and deeper foundation walls than anticipated at the former West Marine building. SDOT and the contractor are reevaluating methods of wall and foundation removal.
According to SDOT, the construction and subsequent lane closures will be rescheduled shortly, but a time has not yet been set.
