Extra traffic is expected on Mercer St. this weekend. SDOT crews are going to be laying a thin layer of asphalt on Mercer between Fairview and Westlake avenues on Saturday, March 20, blocking off up to two lanes of traffic from 6 a.m. to no later than 4 p.m. At least two lanes will be open to traffic, along with the sidewalks.
According to SDOT, the thin layer of asphalt will serve as a “patch” on Mercer St–in desperate need of repaving to remedy the pothole problem–until the street can be rebuilt as part of the upcoming Mercer Corridor East project.
