An entrance to Montgomery Street Station near Sutter and Sansome Streets is scheduled to close October 18th for construction of a new canopy. The entrance is expected to remain closed until Spring 2024. 

Three alternative entrances will remain open, including the entrance at Montgomery and Post Streets where a new canopy has just been completed. 

BART has finished six canopies over station entrances along Market Street and 13 more will be built, including the canopy at the entrance referenced above. The new canopies protect escalators and provide additional wayfinding, lighting, real-time information and security cameras. 

The canopy project is proceeding in conjunction with a program to replace 40 escalators and add one new escalator at the four downtown San Francisco stations.

(January 6 update) The work that had been planned for January 12 has been cancelled because of the progress made by work crews with vegetation management on January 5. BART plans to provide regular Sunday service at South Hayward Station on January 12.

On Sunday, January 12, a work team will be deployed in the trackway near South Hayward Station to manage vegetation that could pose a hazard to service. To ensure the work can be done safely, service through the project area will be reduced from two tracks to one at South Hayward. Riders in the area should expect delays of 15-20 minutes on those work dates. Also, the Green Line will be cancelled for the day. Riders travelling from North San Jose/Berryessa to San Francisco can take an Orange Line, Richmond-bound train and transfer to a Blue Line train at Bay Fair Station.

Starting Monday, November 18, 2024, signage and maps will be installed at El Cerrito del Norte Station to test new regional transit standards. Construction will take approximately three weeks and is not likely to impact passengers.

This work will include select station identification, elevator, bus stop, and new line diagram signage, as well as new maps.

Once complete, we’ll ask you to share your feedback on these test signs and maps and how we can make them work better for you. Your ideas will help us improve designs to make traveling by transit more intuitive, convenient and fun!

This is part of the Regional Mapping & Wayfinding Project, which will harmonize maps and signs to help people navigate transit throughout the Bay Area. It is led by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, in collaboration with BART and all Bay Area transit agencies.
