The reopening of Fremont Street at the Salesforce Transit Center has been pushed back until next week.

Crews have been trying to stabilize the Transit Center bus deck since last month when two cracked beams were discovered.

Fremont Street was supposed to reopen tomorrow but now it won’t be open until next Wednesday.

That means drivers will continue to suffer in the heavy traffic that’s been backing up downtown San Francisco for weeks.

The Transbay Joint Power Authority announced this delay in reopening Fremont Street saying they’ve completed the shoring on the ground level of the street, but the installation of a four story shoring system won’t be finished until next week.

There is also a shoring system in place in the Transit Center on First Street even though no cracks were found there.

Officials want to make sure the shoring system supporting the bus deck is strong and secure before allowing pedestrians and vehicles through Fremont at Mission and Howard Streets.

Once that is done, engineers can safely go into the bus deck and inspect the cracked beams to determine the cause, which they hope to do by November.

Then more permanent repairs will be drawn up and constructed to fix the $2.2 billion Transit Center.
