Parking Options Available for North Harbor Drive During Construction

Contact: Marguerite Elicone (619) 686-6222 Friday, 27 January 2012

Construction on the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan Phase I project will soon be kicked into high gear.

The project will transform the San Diego bay front along North Harbor Drive from Navy Pier to the B Street Pier and along West Broadway from the railroad tracks to North Harbor Drive.

Currently, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is working on relocating and improving its underground utilities to pave the way for moving North Harbor Drive to the east to allow more room for a pedestrian promenade.
