HAYWARD, CA — BART will postpone the beginning of scheduled track work at the Hayward station from this weekend to next month, an agency spokesman said Monday.
The project will now begin the weekend of Aug. 1 and 2 and train service will continue as normal this weekend.
The track replacement project is scheduled to last five weekends over two months and will affect BART traffic between the Bay Fair and South Hayward stations.
