The Clement Avenue/Tilden Way project is now in Stage 1 and will begin Stages 2 and 3 on Monday, May 18, according to the latest update from the City of Alameda. Work on the project is planned to take place in a total of five stages and will continue to involve various road closures with detours both for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Work includes, but is not limited to, demolition of existing roadway, installation of new utilities and roadway, and new pavement delineation and landscaping. The Bridgeside Shopping Center will remain open throughout the duration of construction, although detours should be expected to gain access to the center.

Upcoming construction: Stages 2 and 3
Construction Stages 2 and 3 will occur simultaneously, involving temporarily closing Fernside Boulevard between Versailles Avenue and Tilden Way and temporarily closing the approach to Fernside Boulevard from Pearl Street.
In addition to those closures, there will be a permanent eastbound lane reduction on Tilden Way between Broadway and Miller Sweeney Bridge in preparation for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Tilden Way/Blanding Avenue/Fernside Boulevard. Street parking and driveway access within the work area will be affected. “No Parking” signs will be posted 72 hours in advance of any work.

Construction of the roundabout at the intersection of Tilden Way/Blanding Avenue/Fernside Boulevard will include reducing the two lanes to one lane on Tilden Way from Broadway to Miller Sweeney Bridge.
This stage will also focus on improving the connection to/from Pearl Street from Fernside Boulevard, constructing widened sidewalks on the south side of Tilden Way, constructing a new pedestrian island and medians, and upgrading driveways within the work area.
Temporary walkways will be placed giving pedestrians and bicyclists a travel path across Blanding Avenue as they travel along Tilden Way.
Nearby residents and businesses will receive more information directly as construction progresses. Stages 2 and 3 are expected to continue through October 2026, subject to weather and other unforeseen circumstances, followed by stages 4 and 5.
