Market Street Improvements Project

Market Street Groundbreaking

Additional project updates and information will be published on an on-going basis.

Latest Updates - November 2023

*Update: Due to unexpected weather conditions, street paving was extended to November 22, 2023.

In prepration for the upcoming holiday, the City's contractor is scheduled to perform asphalt paving, barring weather or other unforeseen delays, on:

Friday, November 10, 2023 – Saturday, November 18, 2023
Market Street between Atlantic Avenue and Cherry Avenue

No parking signs will be posted on both sides of Market Street at a minimum of three days prior to the start of work.

*Temporary full street closure of Market Street will be necessary to complete this paving work. Temporary full street closures will not be closed each day, and instead, limited by sections based on the contractor's daily progress. Access in and out of driveways during the construction working hours will therefore be restricted and is advisable to remove vehicles from your driveways or parking garages by 7:00 AM.  Access will be restored by 5:00 PM.

Project Information

Market Street Improvements Map

The $11 Million Market Street Pedestrian and Streetscape Enhancements project implements corridor-wide improvements along Market Street (between the LA River and 800 feet of Cherry Avenue). Originally identified in the North LB Street Enhancement Master Plan, the project also includes proposed recommendations from the North LB Walkability Plan. The project seeks to improve the overall mobility, safety, and built environment along the roughly 2.2-mile corridor for the North Long Beach community. Improving the streets and active transportation infrastructure will create a safer, healthier, better connected, and more inclusive Long Beach.

The project focuses on re-envisioning streets that support people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, while creating connections to neighborhood parks, churches, and schools. The project also aims to prevent traffic-related fatalities, shape safer streets, provide equitable active transport, and promote healthy communities.
