Construction Milestone Celebrated On San Diego's North Embarcadero
In a little more than a year from now, the North Embarcadero area between Navy Pier and the B Street Pier will feature an expansive,105-foot wide public promenade, public gardens, shade pavilions, new landscaping and other amenities when construction on the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan Phase I project is completed.
As a visible sign of progress, on Monday, May 20, 2013, traffic lanes were moved approximately 60 feet to the east between Navy and B Street Piers. This will allow construction of the waterfront promenade to begin. Additionally, two pavilions that will house a café, a visitor information center, two ticket kiosks and a public restroom will begin construction.
