Fremont Street reopens in SF, Transbay Transit Center remains closed

Fremont Street returned to the normal course of business Monday beneath the still-closed Transbay Transit Center, as vehicles progressed through South of Market as might be expected during the morning commute.

Transbay officials announced Sunday afternoon that the street, which had been closed between Howard and Mission streets where it passes beneath two cracked beams in the sprawling transit center, would reopen for the first time since Sept. 25.

While traffic was sluggish as usual during the commute, Fremont Street did not back up as it has the previous three weeks.

Not everything is back to normal, though.

Fremont Street’s bus lane, which takes buses into the transit center, remains closed.
