May 18 to May 24, 2019
Construction is advancing along the Caltrain corridor! To accommodate the brand new electric trains, construction crews will began work in the four San Francisco tunnels starting in October 2018. That weekend work has concluded and Caltrain has restored regular weekend service to and from San Francisco.
CONSTRUCTION
 South San Francisco Station Improvement Project
Night/Weekend Work
No night work planned.
Weekday Work
Monday, May 20
, to Friday, May 24, crews will continue street work on Poletti Way between East Grand Avenue and Corporate Drive. Crews will also continue to install pole foundations and perform utility relocation work in the station area.
Neighbors may hear additional noises from heavy machinery and equipment backup alarms. We apologize for any inconvenience these activities may occur.
Traffic Notices
Poletti Way Traffic Notice
Starting August 8, temporary lane closures of Poletti Way between East Grand Avenue and Corporate Drive will be required to facilitate the construction of street improvements being completed as part of the Caltrain South San Francisco Station Improvement Project. One lane of Poletti Way will remain accessible to local and through traffic during construction. Please pay attention to additional signage when using Poletti Way.
After the completion of the South San Francisco Station Project, Poletti Way will become a two-way street, with the Southbound lane being reserved for buses serving passengers at the new South San Francisco Station.
Linden Avenue Grade Crossing
Caltrain will continue installation of overhead wire along the corridor in South San Francisco as part of Caltrain Electrification. Vehicles may experience short delays at the Linden Avenue grade crossing during wire installation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

25th Avenue Grade Separation Project
Night/Weekend Work
Weekday Work
Construction Work
Monday, May 20 to Friday, May 24
-
31st Avenue: Crews will remove some surface features
-
The parking lot turn-in across from 31st Ave will be closed for construction staging purposes.
-
28th Avenue: Crews will excavate and remove dirt from the site (trucks may be used to remove the dirt) and work on the platform footing and walls.
-
25th Avenue north: Crews will work on the retaining walls, including installing rebar and wall panels, as well as brackets on the wall for the future overhead catenary system for Caltrain Electfrification.
- 10th to 14th Avenues: Crews may even out soil distributed in this location and as early as this week may install a drainage ditch to prevent any excess runoff and pooling caused by the rain. This work is in preparation for a future set-out track, as a previous one was removed due to the grade separation project.
-
Parking lots near 31st Avenue to the east of Hillsdale Station: Crews will be conducting AT&T utility relocation work.
Parking Impacts
On
Saturday, May 20 to Friday, May 24, 2019, there will be no access to the Caltrain temporary parking lot from 31st Avenue. Vehicles can access the lot from 28th Avenue at S. Delaware. Please note some spaces in the temporary parking lot located on the eastside of the Hillsdale Station will be unavailable due to the construction work
.
We apologize for any inconvenience while this important safety improvement project is being constructed.
Background
Caltrain, in cooperation with the City of San Mateo, will raise the tracks and slightly lower the road (grade separate) at E. 25th Avenue in San Mateo. This will improve safety for both motorists and pedestrians, and it will reduce local traffic congestion in San Mateo. In addition, the project
will create new east-west street connections at 28th and 31st Avenues; and as part of the project improvements, Caltrain will build a new elevated Hillsdale Station with updated amenities at E. 28th Avenue.
Construction is expected to be complete in fall 2020. In order to maintain regular train service, some activities will be conducted during nights and weekends, outside of normal train service hours. Neighbors may experience construction noise and light during these times. Please note that the Hillsdale Station will temporarily close in the fall of 2019 for six months for the building of the new elevated Hillsdale Station. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Caltrain previously had a storage area (also called a set-out track) within San Mateo but it was recently removed due to the project. A set-out track creates a storage space for train maintenance equipment. It typically includes a track approximately 1000' in length and an access road. Equipment would be stored during the day shift or night shift on an as needed basis. The set-out track would likely be used approximately 1 to 2 days per week by maintenance crews.
To date, the work that has occurred at the potential set-out track area consists of distributing soil at the location. For more information on this aspect of the project, please visit,
www.Caltrain.com/HP_MaintenanceArea.
In order to make the location a functional set-out track area, additional installation work would be needed. A construction contract for additional installation work has not been issued and no installation work is expected for several months. Prior to the start of any installation work, Caltrain will communicate with residents, businesses and other interested members of the public to discuss the project in more detail.
Caltrain has had to postpone the original community meeting set for next week (May 21). We expect to have a new date selected soon and will properly notice and advertise the meeting date.
For more information on the 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project, please visit www.Caltrain.com/25thgs. For questions about the project, please call the please call the Customer Service line at 1.800.660.4287 or email SMgradesep@Caltrain.com

Caltrain Electrification
Caltrain Electrification
Caltrain
Electrification is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization program which will electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco's 4th and King Caltrain Station to approximately the Tamien Caltrain Station.
The primary purpose of Caltrain Electrification is to improve Caltrain system performance, reduce long-term environmental impact by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. An electrified Caltrain system would better address Peninsula commuters' vision of increased service and improved travel times in an environmentally friendly and reliable way. This also is expected to help accommodate increase system ridership through improved system operations.
