Overview

The existing south access road to the Golden Gate Bridge, known as Doyle Drive or Route 101, is structurally and seismically unsafe and must be replaced. The roadway is facing the same problem that threatens other parts of our nation’s infrastructure – the ravages of time and continual use. Originally built in 1936, Doyle Drive has reached the end of its useful life.

The Presidio Parkway was unanimously identified as the Preferred Alternative for the Doyle Drive replacement. The Presidio Parkway is a world-class design to replace the existing roadway that, when constructed, will improve the seismic, structural and traffic safety of Doyle Drive. The project team has strived to create a roadway that reduces impacts to biological, cultural and natural resources; respects the project setting within a national park, the National Historic Landmark District and surrounding neighborhoods; meets community needs; and provides a safer roadway.
