San Francisco Oakland San Jose, CA, August 27, 2026 —

Northbound lanes of Highway 101 in San Francisco are scheduled for full closure over two consecutive weekends to accommodate repaving operations. The closures are planned from Friday, September 4, through Monday, September 7, coinciding with the Labor Day holiday weekend, and again from Friday, September 18, through Monday, September 21. Motorists are advised to anticipate significant traffic disruptions.

The affected stretch of Highway 101 northbound spans approximately 1.2 miles. This section runs between Cesar Chavez Street and 10th Street. The area is notably close to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, a key medical facility in the city.

Transportation officials recommend that drivers seek alternative routes or consider utilizing public transportation during these periods. The repaving work is expected to cause considerable delays for commuters and travelers using this major artery. No specific contractor name or agency responsible for the repaving project was provided in the summary details.

The repaving project aims to improve the condition of the highway. The exact duration of the closures is specified as the full weekends, beginning on Fridays and concluding on Mondays. Details regarding alternative detour routes were not explicitly provided, beyond a general recommendation to use them.

Commuters are encouraged to plan ahead and allow for substantially longer travel times if they must drive through the affected areas. Further information regarding the specific timeline for the repaving completion beyond these two weekends was not available.
