Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin September 20th at Antioch Station. The installation process is expected to take up to two weeks to complete. This work comes after the successful installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at Civic Center, Fruitvale, Richmond, and West Oakland stations.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gate array.  Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit Antioch Station.  Both gates will be placed in front of the Station Agent Booth and will route riders through the existing service gate. Additionally, carpet will be installed immediately before the entrance to each fare gate, to make these two gates easier to locate for riders with visual impairments. The removal of the old gates and installation of the prototypes will not impact train service. 

All BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here. Riders can provide feedback about the new gates at bart.gov/comments.

On Thursday, July 18, BART will begin replacing the existing fare gates on the concourse level of Civic Center Station with new Next Generation Fare Gates.

The work at Civic Center will happen at the array, or set of gates, closest to Seventh Street entrance on the north end of the concourse level of the station (Array 1 in the map). A temporary barrier will be installed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. Installing this new array is expected to take several weeks to complete. The station’s other two fare gate arrays (Array 2 and Array3) will remain open during the installation work. 

Once the new array is installed, BART will move forward with replacing all remaining old fare gates at Civic Center Station, one array at a time.  In April, crews successfully installed a new fare gate at the elevator entrance on the Civic Center Station platform.

Installation of Next Generation Fare Gates is scheduled to begin the week of August 11th at Fruitvale Station. The installation process is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. This work comes after the successful installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at West Oakland Station.

During construction, there will be a barrier around the existing station gate array.  Riders will use two temporary accessible gates to enter and exit Fruitvale Station.  Both gates are located next to the Station Agent Booth, one on each side. When facing the booth from the non-paid area of the station, the fare gate to your right is used to enter the station and the fare gate to your left is used to exit. The gates will work for both directions if needed to clear a line of riders.

Additionally, a carpet will be installed immediately before the entrance to each fare gate, to make these two gates easier to locate for riders with visual impairments. The removal of the old gates and installation of the new gates will not impact train service. 

All BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here. Riders can provide feedback about the new gates at bart.gov/comments.

The track shutdown that had been planned for Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18 between Rockridge, MacArthur, and 19th Street stations has been postponed until September. The next shutdown weekend for the replacement of track switches in the core of the system in Oakland will be Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22. 

On the weekend of August 17 and 18, BART will now work on trackway improvements in the Berkeley Hills Tunnel. Service will be reduced from two tracks to one near Orinda Station which will result in delays of up to 10 minutes on both days. Learn more about this work here.

The postponement of the Oakland work will allow BART to further evaluate lessons learned from the first shutdown weekend in June. The goal remains to minimize short term impacts on riders by maximizing work efficiency. Temporary shutdowns of sections of the trackway are necessary for large projects to create a safe workspace for crews while providing a massive boost in productivity thanks to uninterrupted 24/7 work.

It's still anticipated the rebuilding work in Oakland will happen on 18 non-consecutive weekends over the next three years. You can learn more about the project here. The project is part of the Measure RR rebuilding program, which is revitalizing the system’s core infrastructure. This work will benefit riders for decades to come by improving the reliability of the core of BART.
