Caltrain is in the process of replacing its 100+ year-old bridge over Jerrold Avenue. They are inching closer to the date to actually roll in the new bridge and roll out the old one. In order to do so, they have to close Jerrold Avenue around the clock beginning October 6, for up to 30 days. The closure will only be between Quint and Rankin streets. Traffic can detour around the closure, primarily by using Oakdale. The closure is required to finish final assembly and move the bridge into place. The replacement will take place over one night, tentatively scheduled for late night Friday, Oct. 14 into early morning Saturday, Oct. 15. Once the new bridge is in place, crews will need to keep the street closed in order to dismantle the old bridge. The street will be open no later than November 5, but the construction crews hope to get it open sooner than that. Also, traffic message signs will be deployed no later than early next week to ensure motorists are informed as well.
Additional project information can be found on the Caltrain website.
Updates will be posted to the website as the date approaches for rolling in the new bridge.
