May 12, 2023 Update:
Starting Monday, May 15, 2023, a closure area around the Northwest end of Hyde Street Pier will be in effect until Friday, June 12, 2023. A project is scheduled to complete installation of the floating dock used to moor National Historic Landmark (NHL) scow schooner Alma. Construction activity will occur within the closure area. A section of the northern end of Hyde Street Pier is already closed due to a failing bollard.
