Traffic Advisory Along Tilden Way During Fruitvale Alive! Construction

Press release from the City of Alameda:

ALAMEDA, CA — The Fruitvale Alive! pedestrian safety project is ongoing on Fruitvale Avenue, and is expected to continue through winter 2024/25. While Fruitvale Avenue will remain open to through traffic, construction and lane closures in Oakland directly impact the neighborhood around Tilden Way in the City of Alameda.

The City of Alameda Public Works team is working with the City of Oakland to coordinate traffic impacts in the area around the Miller Sweeney/Fruitvale Bridge. Please expect delays, use alternate routes whenever possible, and budget extra travel time if you plan on traveling through this area.

Fruitvale Avenue between E12th Street and Alameda Avenue is a critical gap in the City of Oakland’s bikeway network. This stretch of roadway connects Alameda residents with the services, amenities, and high-quality public transit available around the Fruitvale BART Station.

The project will install a sidewalk level protected bike lane, create a new connection to the SF Bay Trail, widen sidewalks and install lighting, and close two “slip lanes” at the south side of the intersection of Fruitvale and E12th (locations where cars make fast turns). For more information about the project, please visit City of Oakland’s project website.
