Downtown Roads Closed for Construction

The City of Pleasanton reports that three downtown streets will be closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. All work will begin on the scheduled days at 8:30 a.m. and continue through approximately 5:00 p.m. During these periods, the rail crossing will be removed and completely.

Actual construction on the tracks will commence after the last morning Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) train passes through the crossing and the tracks will be re-installed in advance of the afternoon ACE train schedule. The ACE train schedule should not be affected by the construction. The scheduled work will affect the following railroad crossings in Pleasanton:

•  Angela Avenue           Monday and Tuesday, July 22-23

• Rose Avenue               Wednesday and Thursday, July 24-25

• St. Mary Street            Monday and Tuesday, July 29-30

Concrete barriers will be installed on both sides of the tracks to ensure that motorists do not attempt to cross. Detour signs will be posted to notify motorists of an alternative route across the railroad tracks. Parking may also be restricted adjacent to the tracks. Please watch for and obey all traffic signs.
