Elevators out at Civic Center Station 3/8 to 4/17

Crews are waiting for materials to arrive and the opening date has been pushed to 4/17/21.


We will replace all the doors on the street and platform-level elevators as part of a project to increase the reliability of older elevators in the system. The work will begin on Monday, March 8 and continue to approximately Saturday, April 17 (previously 4/3/21).

These are the only elevators at Civic Center/UN Plaza Station.

If you must use an elevator to access our stations, we recommend you get off the train at Powell Street Station and continue to your destination from there.

To check if an elevator is in service before arriving at a station, please call 510-834-LIFT (510-834-5438) or 888-2-ELEVAT (888-235-3828), or sign up for elevator status alerts at www.bart.gov/elevators

If you arrive at any station and find that the elevator(s) are out of service, you may contact a Station Agent to arrange for a lift van to take you to a nearby station with a working elevator.

We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
