The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's (SFMTA) Central Subway project is advancing toward substantial completion.
Critical testing and certification of project elements such as station escalators, elevators, trackwork and radio communications is set to begin, agency officials said in a news release.
The next stage also will include rail activation to begin testing operations, train control and other integral systems.
The project has reached a number of significant milestones, including the laying of track along the route, the completion of stations, public art installations and the reopening of streets closed to vehicle traffic, SFMTA officials said.
To launch operations in mid-2022, the Central Subway will connect to some of San Francisco’s most densely populated communities, including Visitacion Valley, the Bayview and Dogpatch neighborhoods, and the city’s center.
