Upcoming Light Rail Shutdown: March 19-24
VTA has significantly improved our aging infrastructure, but maintaining it is an ongoing effort. In March, VTA will be installing foundations for future overhead catenary system (OCS) poles just south of the Capitol Ave. and Mabury Rd. grade crossing. In addition, VTA will be making modifications to the existing OCS extending south of the Alum Rock Station. The modifications will clear the way for the Eastridge to BART Regional Connector (EBRC) project construction in the tail tracks area along S. Capitol Ave.
The upcoming work will impact light rail stations between Hostetter Station and Alum Rock Station on the Orange Line. A bus bridge will be in place to ensure that passengers can still reach their destinations. Riders are strongly encouraged to plan their trips in advance and subscribe to service alerts
