In its perennial effort to delay the progression of sand onto the northern length of the Great Highway and to keep it where it is needed, crews from San Francisco's Public Works will begin a sand distribution project Monday. Using front-end loaders and backhoes, 30,000 cubic yards of sand will be moved over the next two weeks. Sporadic closures of the Great Highway due to the buildup of windblown sand on the roadway normally occur every year during the winter and spring months.
People who walk and bike are encouraged to shift their activities to the northbound lanes while crews are on the job, weekdays, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. In contrast to the northern stretch, the span of the Great Highway that lies south of Sloat Boulevard has suffered from too little sand. In recent years, erosion has eaten away at the road and threatened a water treatment plant. This condition has propelled the city to design the Ocean Beach Climate Adaptation Plan.
