Caltrain Closes Part Of Center Street For Electrification Work In Millbrae

Press release from the City of Millbrae:

August 20, 2020

Today and tomorrow (August 20-21, 2020), Caltrain will perform pothole work in Millbrae that will require a partial closure of the Center Street railroad crossing to vehicle traffic. Work will take place from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Only one lane of traffic will be closed at a time.

Directional signs will direct vehicle traffic to use either the eastbound lane or westbound lane of Center Street as a detour during construction. The westbound lane will remain open when work requires closure of the eastbound lane. Once work in the eastbound lane is complete, crews will then close the eastbound lane and open the westbound lane for detour traffic. Crosswalks will remain open for pedestrian traffic.

During the lane closure, crews will be locating underground utilities, testing soil conditions, and conducting duct back trenching to install signal cable for Caltrain Electrification. Work will consist of excavation, potholing, cutting of asphalt and concrete, conduit installation and excavation restoration. Construction activities require the temporary crossing closures to comply with safety regulations.

If you have questions or comments about the this or other Caltrain work, please call their dedicated project hotline at (650) 399-9659. Thank you for your patience and understanding as this work is completed.
