apologize for the inconvenience.
22nd
Street Bridge
Monday, January 23 to Friday,
January 27, crews will prepare for the installation of the precast bridge
girders.
The closure of 22nd Street
between Iowa Street and Pennsylvania began on Tuesday, April 19, 2016. During the closure, vehicular access
to 22nd Street between Iowa Street and Pennsylvania Avenue will
remain closed during the removal and replacement of the bridge. Detour
signage will be in place to direct vehicular and pedestrian traffic during the
closure.
A temporary pedestrian bridge has been
installed to maintain limited pedestrian access across 22nd Street.
The temporary pedestrian bridge is intended for use by Caltrain customers
accessing the 22nd Street Caltrain Station.
San Carlos Transit Center Project
Night/Weekend Work
There is night and weekend work
planned for Monday, January 23 to Friday, January 27. Crews will
begin work on the sidewalk, curb and gutter along El Camino Real. Neighbors may
experience construction noise during this time. We apologize for the
inconvenience. El Camino Real traffic may be reduced to one lane during
construction activities.
Weekday Work
Monday,
January 23, to Friday, January 27, crews will continue improvements to the
south Caltrain parking lot. Crews will continue utility work and will begin
work on the sidewalk, curb and gutter along El Camino Real.
Some parking
spaces in the Caltrain parking lot and along the eastside of El Camino between
Cherry and Arroyo will be removed permanently as part of the project. On-site
notices will be provided at least 72 hours in advance before the removal of
parking.
Background
The San Carlos Multi-Modal Transit Center Project (Transit Center) is
located on the west side of the railroad corridor at the site of the existing
San Carlos Caltrain Station. The Transit Center project consists of
transforming the existing San Carlos Caltrain Station parking lot into a
multi-modal transit center that will better serve the community by improving
safety and accessibility between SamTrans fixed route bus services, Caltrain
commuter rail services, local shuttles, pedestrians and bicyclists. For more
information on the project, please visit www.samtrans.com/sctc.
The
Transit Center project is part of the larger mixed-use transit-oriented
development, the San Carlos Transit Village, which is a joint development
between SamTrans and Prometheus Real Estate Group. For information about the San Carlos Transit
Village Project visit: http://cityofsancarlos.org/planning/projects/san_carlos_transit_village/default.asp
Los Gatos Creek
Bridge Pre-Construction Utility Work
Night/Weekend Work
There is no night or weekend work scheduled for
the project at this time.
Weekday Work
There is currently no work scheduled at the
Los Gatos Creek Bridge site.
For more information on the Los Gatos Creek
Bridge Replacement Project, please visit www.caltrain.com/losgatos.
Construction for the bridge replacement is expected to begin in Early 2016.
Peninsula
Corridor Electrification Project
The Peninsula Corridor
Electrification Project (PCEP) is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization
program. The PCEP would electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s
4th and King Caltrain Station to approximately the Tamien Caltrain Station.
The primary purpose of
the Project 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.

Installation
Communications
Based Overlay Signal System (CBOSS) Positive Train Control (PTC) Project
The CBOSS
PTC Project is an advanced signal system that will equip the corridor and
trains with federally-mandated safety technology and will increase system
capacity to help accommodate future ridership demand.
The
project will monitor and, if necessary, control train movement in the event of
human error. This will increase safety by:
- Eliminating
the risk of train-to-train collisions. - Reducing
risk of potential derailments by enforcing speed limits. - Providing
additional safety for railroad workers on the tracks.
- Improving
grade crossing performance to reduce gate downtime and improve local
traffic circulation.
The CBOSS PTC Project
is also a key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program, which will
electrify the Caltrain Corridor by 2020. An electrified Caltrain will be
cleaner and quieter and will upgrade the system to provide faster and/or more
frequent service to more stations and riders.
To implement the project, Caltrain will be identifying utilities, digging a
small trench and/or boring close to the tracks to install fiber optic cable. In
order to maintain daytime train service, Caltrain will be performing some of
this work at night.

Maintenance
Caltrain will perform routine maintenance at several locations next week. To
avoid disruptions to service, the work will mainly take place Saturday through
Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. For more information about this type of work,
click here,
or call 650.508.7726.
San Francisco to
San Jose
Saturday,
January 21, to Friday, January 27, crews will pressure wash and perform
janitorial work at Caltrain stations between the San Francisco and Tamien
stations.
South San Francisco to Burlingame
Monday, January 23,
to Friday, January 27, crews will resurface rail between the South San
Francisco and Broadway stations. Resurfacing corrects the alignment of uneven
rails to make them smooth, minimizing the jerks and bumps experienced by
passengers and reducing the mechanical strain on the rails. Neighbors may
experience construction noise during this time. Crews will work as quietly as
possible.
Millbrae to Belmont
Monday, January 23
to Friday, January 27, crews will replace ties between the Millbrae and Belmont
stations. Caltrain uses several different on-track, self-propelled machines to
replace cross ties, and neighbors may experience construction noise during this
time. Crews will work as quietly as possible
San Jose
Monday, January
23 to Friday, January 27, crews will weld and grind rail near the San Jose
Diridon Station. The welding crew uses air compressors, gas-powered generators,
small power tools, electric-arc welders and propane heaters. Neighbors may
experience construction noise during this time. Crews will work as quietly as
possible.
