Grade Separation: San Bruno/South Linden Avenue Factsheet

Lead Agency:
Caltrain

Contractor:
To be determined by competitive bid

Project Limits:
Approximately two miles of the Caltrain Corridor from Colma Creek in South San Francisco to San Felipe Avenue in San Bruno

Construction Cost:
$170 - $200 million (estimate)

Begin Construction:
2011

End Construction:
2014

Reason for Project:
This project will allow for improved safety along this section of track, smoother automobile traffic flow in the area, and better access between downtown San Bruno and the Caltrain station.

Scope of Work:
The project will eliminate five at-grade (street level) railroad crossings, by lowering South Linden, San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus Avenues, while raising the tracks, and closing Scott Street to vehicular traffic. Pedestrian underpasses will be built at Scott Street, Euclid Avenue and Sylvan Avenue. A new elevated Caltrain station located between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues will replace the existing station at Sylvan Avenue. Streets and sidewalks adjacent to the grade will be improved, including sidewalks along Posey Park.
