Day work will be done from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. This week, crews will continue painting the exterior and installing the Huntington elevator. Crews also will install handrails and continue work on the Euclid Tunnel. 

Crews will continue excavating and removing portions of the roadway on Angus Avenue until 5 p.m. Saturday, July 27, to lower streets and allow for greater vehicular clearance under the crossings. Once completed, the clearance for the intersection will be approximately 15 feet.

During the closure, Caltrain will establish detour signs for pedestrians and motorists to help with traffic flow. The closure has been coordinated with emergency services. Night work will be done in accordance with Caltrain and city agreements and ordinances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

The $147 million project will elevate the Caltrain tracks above three existing at-grade street crossings at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues.  A new elevated Caltrain station between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues will replace the station at Sylvan Avenue. Work on this project will not disrupt Caltrain service.

Maintenance

Caltrain will perform routine maintenance at several locations next week. To avoid delays to passengers, the work will mainly take place Saturday through Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. There will be some construction noise but crews will work as quietly as possible.
