Caltrain to replace San Francisco bridge

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

Caltrain will be removing the existing Quint Street Bridge and replacing it with a new berm. The current 100-year-old bridge, deemed structurally deficient, does not meet existing seismic safety standards and must be replaced to ensure the safety of community members and Caltrain passengers.

 

Earlier this month, the city closed Quint Street between Newcomb and Jerrold Avenues so that Pacific Gas and Electric Company could relocate and replace an underground gas line near the project site. Work to replace the bridge will begin in early November and is expected to last six months. While a majority of the work will be completed during the day, in order to maintain rail operations, night and weekend work will be required for some construction activities.

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority’s Quint-Jerrold Connector Road project will follow the berm construction. The planned connector road will link Quint Street, just north of Oakdale Avenue, to Jerrold Avenue via a new road along the west side of the Caltrain tracks.
