Entrance closure alert: Montgomery St. Station entrance at Sutter and Sansome to close for canopy construction
In late May / early June, the entrance to Montgomery Street Station at Sansome and Sutter Streets will be closed for the construction of a new canopy. The entrance is expected to remain closed until early 2025.
Six other entrances to Montgomery St. will remain open (please see the map below).
BART plans to construct a total of 21 street-level canopies over downtown station entrances. BART has completed construction of 10 units (including 2 pilot canopies) with 4 more canopies currently under construction and 7 additional canopies to be constructed through 2026. These entrance canopies will protect the new escalator equipment and reduce maintenance costs. In addition, canopies will include wayfinding, lighting, real-time information, and security cameras on Market Street.
Simultaneously, BART is replacing escalator units in the four downtown stations. These escalators are original to the BART system and have outlived their expected mechanical life, frequently requiring repairs. In 2020, BART began the escalator renovation project to replace 41 escalators at the four downtown stations on both platform and street levels. To date, BART has completed installation of 10 units, 4 are currently under construction, and there are 27 remaining escalator units to be completed through 2026.
Installation work to begin week of September 3rd for Next Generation Fare Gates at 24th Street/Mission Station
The week of September 3rd, BART will begin the installation of Next Generation Fare Gates on the concourse level of 24th Street/Mission Station. The first set of gates to be replaced will be those located next to the Station Agent Booth closest to 24th and Mission streets.
While work happens on installing the first set of Next Generation Fare Gates, the second array of old gates will remain open for riders. There will be signage to direct riders to the open gates. Once the installation of the first set of new gates is complete, work will begin on the second array.
A temporary barrier will be installed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. Each new array is expected to take about two weeks to install. The latest work comes after BART successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at Civic Center, Fruitvale, and West Oakland stations.
All BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project at bart.gov/about/projects/fare-gate. Riders can provide feedback about the new gates at bart.gov/comments.
Installation work to begin November 1 for Next Generation Fare Gates at Powell Street Station
On November 1, BART will begin the installation of Next Generation Fare Gates on the concourse level of Powell Street Station. The installation work will happen in stages so riders can continue to use the remaining current gates while new ones are being installed. There will be additional BART staff as well as signage to direct riders to the open gates. Installing each new array is expected to take up to two weeks to complete. The work is anticipated to continue into December when all six fare gate arrays are replaced at Powell Street Station.
A temporary barrier will be installed around the array to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. The work will not impact train service, but riders may experience a few extra minutes wait to pass through the fare gates during peak travel hours.
The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at eight other stations across the system. All 50 BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART’s Next Generation Fare Gate project here. Riders can provide feedback about the new gates at bart.gov/comments.

The latest work at Civic Center Station comes after BART successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at the Seventh Street entrance to the station in July.

Once work on this set of gates is complete, BART will move forward with replacing the last remaining array of old gates.
