Systematic Crossing Improvements

This project will install Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and Intersection Lighting at six intersections in the City of Oakland with a history of pedestrian collisions.

This project is currently under construction.

Shattuck Avenue & 56th Street Project Update as of October 2026:

Repaving for the Shattuck Avenue and 56th Street intersection is underway. Please see below for our approximate construction schedule:

  • October 14: Utility lowering in preparation for paving was completed.
  • Week of October 19: Changeable message signs (CMS) will be placed along Shattuck Avenue to notify the public of upcoming detours and expected delays.
  • Week of October 26: Paving operations are scheduled to begin.

At this time, we are working to maintain thru-traffic for both Shattuck and 56th during construction- however, please note that unforeseen underground conditions may require traffic on 56th to be shutdown at night (traffic on Shattuck would be maintained).
