Caltrain to hold SF Bridge Construction Update

Caltrain to Hold Meetings Next Week on Upcoming SF Bridge Construction

Caltrain will convene two community meetings next week to discuss details of the upcoming San Francisco Roadway Bridges Project.

The project will include the replacement of three vehicular bridges at 22nd Street, 23rd Street and Paul Avenue in San Francisco. The bridges no longer meet modern seismic safety standards and must be replaced to ensure safe conditions.

Details and scope of the work will be discussed at these two public meetings:

Tuesday, Feb. 25, 6:30 p.m.
Visitacion Valley Library
201 Leland Avenue, San Francisco

Thursday, Feb. 27, 6:30 p.m.
Potrero Hill Neighborhood House
953 De Haro Street, San Francisco

Construction work to replace the bridges is scheduled to start in fall 2014 and it is expected to last 9 to 12 months per bridge.  Construction will start with the 23rd Street Bridge followed by the Paul Avenue Bridge.  Once the 23rd Street Bridge is complete, construction on the 22nd Street Bridge will begin.  To limit impacts on traffic, construction of the 22nd and 23rd Street bridges will not take place concurrently.

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.

Community members may experience temporary, localized noise impacts during construction. Construction crews will use best management practices to reduce noise and other impacts to the community. Caltrain will notify community members well in advance about construction activities that could result in noise impacts.

More information on the project can be found here.
