Latham Square’s renovation is expected to be finished by the end of June.

The plaza, located at Telegraph Avenue and Broadway and considered the gateway to Oakland’s Uptown neighborhood and entertainment district, is being expanded to include more pedestrian areas.

The project also includes improved intersections, traffic signal upgrades, new roadway surfacing, bulb-outs, restoration of the historic Latham fountain, informational panels, landscaping, and pedestrian and decorative lighting.

Street and lane closures have been common since work began last year.

The intersection at Telegraph and 16th Street was recently reopened, and vehicles can once again access 16th from Telegraph.

There is ongoing construction at 15th Street and Broadway and 17th Street and Telegraph Avenue to build sidewalk bulb-outs and access ramps, and to install traffic signals.

The bulb-outs should be finished in the next two weeks. Traffic signals and poles will be installed in late May or early June.

A median on Broadway between 15th and 17th streets will be built starting in late April or early May.

Surrounding businesses are open during construction.
