BART is performing rail destressing between Lafayette and Pleasant Hill stations at midnight tonight.

To create a safe work space for our crews, BART will reduce service from two tracks to one while the work is taking place. Riders can anticipate delays of 20-25 minutes.

During FY26, BART completed 98 miles of track grinding and surfacing, added three new substations and four portable substations, increasing power capacity from Colma to Downtown Oakland by 30%, upgraded eight stations with new LED lighting, and completed three station glow-ups.

Watch BART crews install this new diamond junction in a weekend.

This was part of a larger effort to replace a vital interlocking between Union City and Fremont stations that was nearing the end of its lifespan.

[BART @SFBART]

BART continues to invest in trackside upgrades, track replacement, and modern train control technology to make the system even more resilient.

El Cerrito Plaza is one of several major TOD projects that BART is advancing across its system, designed to generate ridership and contribute to the agency’s long-term financial sustainability, strengthen local economies, and provide equitable access to opportunity. https://t.co/PmxABGKkeO

We also have more new housing coming to Lake Merritt BART Station!

On Monday, Secretary @XavierBecerra joined Assemblymember @BuffyWicks (D-Oakland), BART Director Barnali Ghosh and BART General Manager Bob Powers for a tour of 70 affordable apartments under construction at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station.

[BART @SFBART]

This is the first in a multi-phase Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) that will ultimately transform approximately 6.5 acres of underutilized BART parking lots into 743 new apartments. https://t.co/Q8vMPgY5ew

There is still more work to do before people can move in to the Transit-Oriented Development at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station but construction has been zooming along this year thanks to its modular construction!

It took less than 3 weeks to install all the housing units.

Service reduced from two tracks to one this Sunday, October 18 between San Leandro and Bay Fair stations so crews in the trackway can manage vegetation that could affect our ability to offer safe and reliable service.

The work will start before we begin service and continue until 6pm.

San Francisco riders can take the Blue Line and transfer to the Orange Line at Bay Fair. Orange and Blue line trains will be extended in length from six to eight cars throughout the day to provide additional capacity for riders who typically use the Green Line.

[BART @SFBART]

East Bay riders who would typically use the Green Line can instead use the Orange Line and transfer at Bay Fair to a Blue Line train to travel transbay.

[BART @SFBART]

Riders in the area should expect 25–30-minute delays. There will be no Green Line service for the entire day but we will continue to provide service to all 50 stations.

When the Loma Prieta earthquake hit on Tuesday October 17, 1989, BART was put to the test like never before.

Not only did service resume just a few hours after the quake, BART ran 24-hours a day, seven days a week for about a month while the Bay Bridge was closed.

[BART @SFBART]

Riders in the work area should expect 25–30-minute delays.
