San Bruno Grade Separation

Caltrain expects to begin construction of the San Bruno grade separation project in October 2010. Work on the project plan is currently underway and construction bids will be accepted in March 2010. The project will eliminate three street-level grade crossings by lowering San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues 41/2 feet and raising the railroad tracks 18 feet. Pedestrian underpasses will be built at Euclid, San Bruno and Sylvan avenues. A new elevated Caltrain station between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues will replace the existing station at Sylvan Avenue. Streets and sidewalks, including those at Posy Park, also will be improved. Scott Avenue is not included in the project.

Construction Cost: $100 million

Underground Utility Work: April – June 2010

Begin Grade Separation Construction: October 2010
