This weekend, August 29-30, Caltrain’s South San Francisco Station will be closed as part of the South San Francisco Station Improvement Project. South San Francisco Station will reopen before the first train on Monday, August 31.
During the closure, trains will not serve the South San Francisco Station. There will be no alternative transportation provided at South San Francisco Station for this closure. Passengers are advised to use the nearby Bayshore Station or San Bruno Station, which have parking and will receive regular weekend service.
Construction will take place around the clock, in order to minimize the amount of time the station is closed.
Caltrain, in coordination with the City of South San Francisco, is currently replacing the existing South San Francisco Station with a new center boarding platform connecting to a pedestrian underpass. The project consists of track work, signal work and new platform amenities. The project improves safety by eliminating the hold out rule and will provide increased connectivity along Grand Avenue to downtown South San Francisco. The improvements will also make the station fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The project is expected to be completed early next year.
