Watkins Avenue Grade Crossing Improvement Project in Town of Atherton
Caltrain, in cooperation with the Town of Atherton, will begin a project to improve the safety at Watkins Avenue. These improvements will increase safety for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Their primary contractor completing the work is Graniterock.
Active construction will begin 5/08/2023 and be completed in the Fall 2023. Most traffic delays will be in May and June. Regularly scheduled work hours at and around the crossing will be Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
During work hours, it may be necessary to temporarily re-route traffic (vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian) around lane closures at each crossing.
Flaggers will be in-place to help re-route traffic safely.
