Caltrain construction, maintenance update, Oct. 17-20

Written by jrood

Work will continue on the new pedestrian underpass at the Santa Clara, Calif., station. The underpass will connect the north- and southbound platforms, allowing two trains to pass through the station at the same time and improving safety for pedestrians in the station.

Passengers at the station
are boarding the train from a temporary platform. Scheduled train stops at the
station will not be affected by the construction. Tickets can still be
purchased at the existing ticket vending machines

The work is part of an
18-month station improvement project that will add a new wider, longer
center-boarding platform and extend the southern platform 150 feet.

Work continues on a VTA
project that will improve safety at eight grade crossings in Sunnyvale,
Mountain View and Palo Alto. Oct. 17-20 between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m.,
crews will work at Mary Avenue crossing in Sunnyvale and at the Castro Street
crossing in Mountain View.

Oct. 17-20, crews will weld
tracks at the San Francisco train yard and other crews will replace crossties
and resurface the tracks between the Sunnyvale and Santa Clara stations.
