New South San Francisco Caltrain station is 50% over budget and 30 months late
Published article
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The opening of Caltrain s new station in South San Francisco is now set for November, meaning Caltrain expects the project to finish 50% over budget and two and a half years late.
In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, Caltrain blamed the latest delays on unforeseen conditions under Caltrain s tracks and low productivity by the contractor.
In coordination with the city of South San Francisco, CalTrain is adding a pedestrian underpass below Highway 101 and the tracks to reach a new center boarding platform with passenger amenities, and it is upgrading the tracks and signals in the area. The improvements will also make the station fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
