Caltrain Board of Directors approved a USD 82.9 million contract to Oakland-based Shimmick/Disney Joint Venture for the 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project. Construction on the project is scheduled for fall 2017 and is expected to span over two and a half years.
Caltrain, in cooperation with the City of San Mateo, will raise the tracks between State Route 92 and Hillsdale Boulevard and slightly lower the road (grade separate) at 25th Avenue in San Mateo. This will improve safety for both motorists and pedestrians, and it will reduce local traffic congestion in San Mateo. In addition, the project will provide an opportunity to complete east-west street connections at 28th and 31st Avenues.
As part of the project improvements, Caltrain will build a new elevated Hillsdale Station at 28th Avenue. The new station will offer updated amenities and will allow for better safety and reduced traffic.
The USD 180 million project is included in Caltrain’s capital budget and is comprised of funding from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, California High Speed Rail Authority, California State Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the City of San Mateo. The City of San Mateo is the sponsoring partner.
