Entrance Alert: Escalators at North end of Embarcadero out of service

Both escalators at the North end (nearest the Ferry Building) at Embarcadero Station are out of service, one for unscheduled maintenance and the other for a planned replacement. Stairs remain open at Drumm and Market (near the cable car turnaround). The station has three other escalators connecting the concourse to the street, as well as an elevator. 

The escalator near Drumm Street suffered a major mechanical breakdown in mid-March. The unit is expected to be repaired and back in service by the end of April.

Meantime, crews are working to install a new, more reliable escalator at the North entrance on the other side of Market Street. It's one of 22 street level escalators BART is replacing along with 18 concourse to platform units as the single largest project for escalator replacement in BART history.
