Pier 9 Bulkhead Wall and Wharf Substructure Earthquake Safety Retrofit Project

Pier 9 is an historic finger pier housing diverse maritime offices, including the San Francisco Bar Pilots and Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA), both of which are important for disaster response. This project focuses on improvements to safety by retrofitting the wharf substructure and utilities to better accommodate earthquake movement of the Seawall. One-page status summary.

There are 23 Embarcadero Early Projects addressing the areas of highest earthquake and sea level rise risks along the Embarcadero waterfront. They are near-term actions, focused on improving life safety and citywide disaster response capabilities, and are the first step toward building long-term, waterfront-wide resilience.  See the list.
