Earthquake upgrade work to start inside BART West Oakland Station

Written by jrood

Starting early July 2010, construction crews will start earthquake-strengthening work inside BART's West Oakland Station. Crews will construct scaffolding and enclosures around work areas and at times will need to temporarily change pedestrian access inside the station. This means it may take customers longer to make their way through the station and around the work areas.

• Description: Constructing
temporary scaffolding and enclosures, adding steel and concrete to foundations,
wrapping columns with reinforcement, and protecting utilities and equipment.

• Location: Inside the paid
area of West Oakland Station.

• Start Date: Early July
2010.

• Duration: Through fall
2010.

• General Work Hours: 7
a.m.-7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with some night work; emergency work as
necessary.
