Track Work Causes Delays On BART

UNION CITY, CA — BART riders traveling on trains in south Alameda County can expect delays of up to 40 minutes through Sunday while crews replace rails on the tracks in the Union City area, according to the transit agency.

The work began at the start of service Tuesday and is estimated to continue until 2 p.m. Sunday, prompting trains to travel both ways on a single track through Union City, BART officials said.

The single-tracking will cause delays of 20 to 40 minutes between South Hayward and Warm Springs/South Fremont, according to BART.

The work is funded by the 2016 Measure RR $3.5 billion bond measure to upgrade and replace aging infrastructure on the BART system.
