We are one step closer to completing the Central Avenue Safety Improvement Project!

As one of the final major construction activities, paving work on Central Avenue between Lincoln Avenue and Main Street/Pacific Avenue is scheduled for Monday, June 8 - Wednesday, June10 (weather permitting). During this time, temporary No Parking zones will be established, and commuters may experience traffic delays.

Detour Information:
Vehicles heading towards the Ferry Terminal or Alameda Point will be directed to Third Street then to Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway/Atlantic Avenue.
Vehicles leaving Alameda Point will be routed to Atlantic Avenue/Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway instead of Oriskany Avenue.

Once the project is complete, drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians will benefit from smoother and safer roadways.

Thank you for your patience as we work toward the finish line!

For more information on how to use roundabouts, please visit https://www.alamedaca.gov/Departments/Planning-Building-and-Transportation/Transportation/Roundabouts-in-Alameda.

Roundabouts have safety and operational benefits for all roadway users and are an important safety treatment in many of the City’s corridor improvement projects. This webpage provides information and resources on roundabouts in Alameda.
