The northbound lanes of 19th Avenue between Sloat Boulevard and Lincoln Way are going to start being repaved as of Monday, December 1. And this means for the second time in five years, this section of Highway 1 through San Francisco will see some increased traffic due to lane closures and roadwork. As NBC Bay Area reports, the repaving work begins on the northbound side of this six-lane thoroughfare, at Sloat Boulevard, proceeding north up to Golden Gate Park.

The closure will occur about 12 miles south of Carmel beginning on Sunday at 10 p.m., with Highway 1 reopening at the site Monday at 6 a.m. The overnight closure marks the start of demobilization following the completion of major concrete placement work as part of the ongoing emergency seawall repair project beneath the Rocky Creek Bridge, according to Caltrans. The repairs strengthen the seawall's ability to resist wave action and prevent future erosion, ensuring the long-term stability of this critical coastal route.

The new bus-on-shoulder lanes in Santa Cruz aims to enhance efficiency for public transportation, allowing buses to maneuver through congested highway traffic more effectively.

Crews will implement a series of overnight closures beginning Sunday and lasting for about a week between the Bay Avenue/Porter Street and State Park Drive interchanges.

A pedestrian walking on Highway 1 was killed in a hit-and-run collision, with law enforcement still searching for the suspected driver.
