Earthquake safety work begins at Hayward Station

As part of our systemwide Earthquake Safety Program, BART is in the process of strengthening structures at the Hayward Station to better withstand future earthquakes. Starting mid-May, the contractor will be moving into a new phase of work which will include construction inside the paid area of the station. Construction will take place in stages, with the first stage of work occurring during the nighttime hours of 8 pm through 4:30 am. 

During construction, two fare gates will be temporarily closed and pedestrian access in and around the station will change periodically. Please move around construction areas with caution and watch for signs with safety information and other notices. You can also expect temporary construction-related noise, dust, and traffic impacts. We will monitor noise and dust and work to minimize any inconveniences. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this work. 
 
Similar work to strengthen San Leandro, South Hayward and Fremont stations is currently underway and is expected to be complete by early 2015. Earthquake Safety Program construction will be underway at various locations throughout the BART system over the next five years, and is expected to be complete by the end of 2018. As always, safety is BART’s top priority. Our aim is to strengthen BART as quickly as possible, while maintaining BART service.
