BART West Oakland elevators to close temporarily for earthquake safety work
Written by jrood
February 14, 2001 As part of BART's system-wide Earthquake Safety Program, work is in progress to strengthen West Oakland, Calif., Station against earthquakes. The agency will need to close both elevators temporarily. Westbound, platform #1, and Eastbound, platform #2 elevators at West Oakland Station will be temporarily out of service for electrical work.
Both elevators will be shut
down the weekend of September 10, 11, and 12, from 9:30 p.m. Friday night until
4:30 a.m. Monday morning. During this time, Lake Merritt or Oakland City
Center/12th Street Stations can be used to access BART.
In October 2010, the
elevators will be closed down for three months each, one at a time.
