Day work, which includes digging with a backhoe and mini-excavator, will be done from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Crews will install utility infrastructure, place concrete panels using a crane, excavate, and pour concrete. Crews will use medium- and heavy-duty diesel vehicles to transport dirt and concrete.
Night work will occur from Sunday, Sept. 23, through Friday, Sept. 28, between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Crews will operate machinery to vibrate steel supports from the ground, and will use a crane to place concrete panels. Lanes on San Mateo Avenue near San Bruno Avenue may be temporarily closed as needed. Traffic cones and flaggers will direct motorists and pedestrians around the affected areas.

This $147-million project will elevate the Caltrain tracks above three existing at-grade street crossings at San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues. A new elevated Caltrain station between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues will replace the station at Sylvan Avenue.

Maintenance
Caltrain will perform routine maintenance at several locations next week.
