The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
SFPUC’s[2] current narrative anticipates major construction in late 2029, while an older sidebar still says 2027. Retains December 31, 2029 as an estimated late-year anchor, not an announced day; latest narrative controls the superseded sidebar.
The SFPUC's own project page: major construction 'now anticipated for late 2029', about four years long, with the project elements, phasing and parking changes. Construction research 2026-10-24: SFPUC explicitly lists Ocean Beach adaptation in Design and says major construction is now anticipated in late 2029. Proposed applies to that future main-build milestone, not In Progress because unrelated coastal work exists. The retained US$175m approval-era project estimate comes from opened November 2024 reporting; a revised budget after the schedule/design changes remains a follow-up. December 31, 2029 is only an estimated late-year anchor. Source quote: “anticipated for late 2029”
Coastal Commission's unanimous approval of the $175 million project, the 3,200-foot buried seawall and the Lake Merced Tunnel it protects.

The earlier promise: the Great Highway Extension between Sloat and Skyline to close to cars by early 2026, with Sloat Plaza and the trail.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
Design; preceding traffic and safety work does not establish construction of the seawall itself.

Buried seawall protects wastewater and recycled-water infrastructure, alongside beach access and habitat work.
