This project is for the grade separation of Holly Street in
San Carlos from the existing railroad tracks by creating a railroad bridge
structure that accommodates traffic underneath. The project is being
implemented in 2 phases as follows:
PHASE A involves the installation of a temporary track
known as a "shoofly", and the cut-over of the trains from the existing
tracks to the shoofly.
PHASE B includes lowering Holly Street, constructing
elevated track and structures, building railroad aerial platforms, upgrading the
San Carlos station, lowering Brittan Avenue and Howard Avenue at permanent
grade, switching over railroad operation to the new bridge and demolition of the
shoofly.
Holly Street will be closed to traffic at certain stages
of the construction, in which alternate routes will be in place.
This project is complete.
The SMCTA expended-to-date amount is underrunning the
current SMCTA budget amount. This underrun is part of the funding
agreement which allows for the Ralston (Job No. 677), Harbor (Job No. 683) and
Holly (Job No. 681) projects to continue payments up to a combined total of
$60,166,000.
Future activities include the project close out.
