Construction

San Bruno Grade Separation Project
Pile driving, which began in February, is currently on hold. Other work, which includes digging with a backhoe and mini-excavator will be done from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Crews will install temporary shoring, rebar, prepare foundations, and pour concrete. Crews will use medium and heavy duty diesel vehicles to prepare and transport concrete.

Night work will occur from Sunday, April 29, through Friday, May 4, between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Crews will install temporary shoring in preparation for building foundations and retaining walls.

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.

Maintenance

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