Get your last glimpses of the Pagoda before it is covered in scaffolding! The shoring installed in the garage supports the scaffolding in the plaza.
Please be advised of the following construction updates since our last update earlier this month.
- EAST Mall Entrance from Post Street – The current detour through center of Plaza remains through October. We will begin to use a temporary path that runs alongside the building in late November.
- WEST Mall Entrance from Post Street – The current path along building will be in place into November. A new detour through center of Plaza will begin in late October/early November. The current path alongside the building will resume in late November/early December.
- NIGHT WORK – Up to three days of night work are expected in October. Exact Dates will be forthcoming. Contractor will be obtaining permits, and then mailing and posting notices.
- GARAGE WORK – Scaffolding on the ramp to the lower garage level will be moved in late October. Work will take place between 5AM-10AM. Flaggers will be present to direct traffic to lower level if needed.
- Approximately 60 total parking spots are currently blocked for the pagoda scaffolding supports and temporary driving lanes. For your safety, please drive slowly and follow all posted signage, including posted detours.
- WATERPROOFING – Waterproofing was installed around the pagoda. The rest of the plaza will be waterproofed for the next six weeks.
Remember! Japan Center Malls remain open throughout the construction duration. Please be aware of the following pedestrian detours:
- Access from Geary Boulevard – Detour to both East Mall and West Mall through the Geary Boulevard parking garage
- Access from Post Street – Enter through existing fenced paths near the buildings to East Mall and West Mall
- SIDEWALK CLOSED on the north side of Geary Boulevard from Laguna Street to Buchanan Street (mid-block crosswalk).
