BART work crews will kick off Monday, Feb. 14, a six-month construction project critical for the rail operations near Balboa Park.
BART crews will construct important cabling infrastructure along the transit agencyâs right-of-way, parallel to I-280 on the southern side from Santa Rosa Avenue to Havelock Street.
The project, which began in 2020, is paid for by funds from the voter-authorized Measure R.
âThis 50-year-old electrical infrastructure has exceeded the end of its design life and must be replaced,â according to a news release. âLoss of power in this section of track without backup would have a major impact on train operations for the entire BART system.â
All work will occur on weekdays from midnight to 4:30 a.m. and weekends from midnight to 7 a.m.
âIn some cases, work may extend from 4:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on select Sundays as needed,â according to an announcement. âLights will be needed for night work, and neighbors can expect construction noise associated with operation of intermittent drilling, excavator, dump trucks with backup alarms, work trucks on the rails, and soil tampering equipmentâ
Questions about the project may be directed to Tom Leong by phone at (650) 637-9500 or email at tleong@bart.gov.
