Construction
San Carlos Transit Center
Project
Night/Weekend Work
There is no night or weekend work scheduled at the San
Carlos Transit Center Project.
Weekday Work
Monday, August 28 to Friday
September 1, crews will continue
parking lot improvements, including curb and gutter work along El Camino Real. Neighbors
may experience construction noise and traffic during this time. We apologize
for the inconvenience. El Camino Real traffic may also be reduced to one lane
during construction activities.
Some
parking spaces in the Caltrain parking lot and along the eastside of El Camino
between Cherry and Arroyo have been permanently removed as part of the project.
Caltrain customers are encouraged to park at the Belmont Caltrain Station
during construction.
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 Replacement Project Weekly
Update
Night/Weekend Work
Friday, August 28 to Wednesday, September 1, crews will continue
to demolish the existing main track bridges. Friday, August 28 to Friday, September 1, crews will drill
piles for the new main track bridges. Crews will also install rebar cages and
pour concrete. Residents will hear on-track equipment and construction
activities during these nights. In order to limit the impact to railroad
operations, these activities must be conducted at night or on the weekend when
there is limited or no train service. We apologize for any inconvenience these
activities may cause.
Additional night work will be required throughout the project.
During the night and weekend work, neighbors will hear additional
noises from heavy machinery and from equipment backup alarms. In addition,
generators will be used for night time activities to power portable light
towers. Caltrain will implement noise mitigation measures for residents
directly adjacent to the project site. We apologize for any inconvenience these
activities may cause.
Weekday Work
Monday, August
28 to Friday, September 1, crews will perform rebar and form
work on the bridge columns.
Background
Caltrain, in cooperation with the City of San Jose,
is preparing to replace the railroad bridge crossing at Los Gatos Creek in
San Jose. The current bridge was built in 1935, and in order to maintain safe
rail operations and meet current seismic safety standards, the bridge must be
replaced. The project will also include installation of a tail track south of
the San Jose Diridon station. The tail track will provide improved operations
at the station and minimize system-wide delays. Construction is expected to be
complete in early 2018.
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. We apologize
for any inconvenience this may cause. For more
information on the Los Gatos Creek Bridge Replacement Project, please visit www.caltrain.com/losgatos. For questions about the project,
please call the Caltrain Construction Hotline at 650.508.7726 or email lgcbridge@caltrain.com.
Peninsula Corridor
Electrification Project
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.

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, August 26, to Friday, September 1, crews
will pressure wash and perform janitorial work at Caltrain stations between the
San Francisco and Tamien stations.
Monday, August 28, to Friday, September 1, crews
will weld and grind rail at various locations between the San Francisco and
Tamien stations. 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.
Menlo Park to Palo Alto
Monday, August 28, to Friday, September 1, crews

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.
Santa Clara to San Jose
Monday, August 28, to Friday, September 1, crews
will replace ties between the Santa Clara and Tamien stations. Caltrain uses
