Palo Alto
On Saturday, May 10, crews will work from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on the concrete ramp for the new pedestrian tunnel at the California Avenue station. This work is part of the Palo Alto stations project.

Maintenance
Train tracks need frequent maintenance to remain in good order.  Caltrain will perform routine maintenance at several locations next week.  To avoid train delays, the work will take place Sunday through Thursday from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.  There will be some construction noise from equipment used to accomplish the work, but crews will work as quietly as possible.  For more information about this work here.

Burlingame, San Mateo
A crew will replace cross ties on the tracks between the Burlingame and San Mateo stations.
