Berryessa BART Station Area


  

   

Overview

Major construction activities continue at the site of the future Berryessa BART Station. Site preparation, which involved the relocation of underground utilities and the demolition of former office buildings is completed. Upper Penitencia Creek, adjacent to where the station campus will be located, has been rerouted and restored to a more natural setting. The environmental project fulfills environmental and ecological mitigation requirements associated with the VTA's BART Silicon Valley Extension Project. Crews have begun construction of the future station, which includes a series of columns, that will also support the elevated track structure. The construction of the Berryessa Station Way vehicular bridge, which spans Upper Penitencia Creek, is complete. When the new BART station is opened, the new bridge will connect Berryessa Road with the station campus.

Berryessa Road

  • Berryessa Road will remain at street level, and a bridge for the BART track corridor will be built above the roadway.
  • Berryessa Road is a busy thoroughfare; the roadway is populated with residential, industrial and commercial areas, including the Berryessa Flea Market. BART operates on an electrified third-rail and the tracks must be separated from the street. BART will operate over Berryessa Road on an aerial guideway structure (bridge), maintaining a safe environment at street level for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicular traffic.

Mabury Road

  • Like the BART overpass at Berryessa Road, a bridge will also be built above Mabury Road.
  • Both directions of traffic on Mabury Road are temporarily shifted to the north of the roadway to accommodate lowering existing street. Work will ensure proper height clearance for the planned aerial track over roadway.
  • Mabury Road is also a busy thoroughfare. BART operates on an electrified third-rail and the tracks must be separated from the street. BART will operate over Mabury Road on an aerial guideway structure (bridge), maintaining a safe environment at street level for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicular traffic.

Construction work commencing in 2014:

Trade Zone Boulevard

  • Trade Zone Boulevard will remain at street level, and the future BART track corridor will be trenched beneath the roadway, enhancing safety and reducing congestion for vehicular traffic, cyclists and pedestrians.
  • A street-level bridge will be built above the BART track corridor.

Lundy Avenue/Sierra Road Intersection

  • The intersection of Lundy Avenue and Sierra Road will remain intact at street level. The BART track corridor will be trenched beneath the intersection. This grade separation is an important element to enhancing safety at this busy intersection and reducing congestion for vehicular traffic, cyclists and pedestrians.
