Construction to replace a regional water delivery pipeline in the county has reached a critical juncture which will require the closure of Crystal Springs Road between Polhemus Road and Skyline Boulevard for 18 consecutive days, starting Monday, June 11 and through Friday, June 29.
The road will reopen on Saturday, June 30. On Sundays, a designated bike lane will be permitted for cycling use only. For safety reasons, motorists are not permitted in the work area given the conditions.

Closure of the portion of road will allow access for large hauling trucks required to replace a large pipeline as part of the Water System Improvement Program. Heavy equipment and materials will fill the narrow and winding portions of Crystal Springs Road, making it unsafe for private vehicles, bicycles and joggers to use the road during this critical construction phase.
During the closure, motorists will not be permitted to use the road at any time. Cyclists will have a marked and secure bicycle lane on Sundays only. However, cyclists should use caution, as steel plates will be laid along Crystal Springs Road. The road will reopen Saturday, June 30. Emergency vehicles will be allowed access, and are encouraged to use the Bunker Hill Road detour. Residents should expect increased truck traffic on Crystal Springs Road during this time. The road will be closed 24-hours a day, and will have security guards in place to ensure the site’s safety.
The Crystal Springs Pipeline No. 2 Replacement Project is a part of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s $4.6 billion Hetch Hetchy Water System Improvement Program providing seismic and reliability upgrades to the drinking water system for 2.6 million customers in the Bay Area.
