BART to close tracks between South Hayward, Fremont this weekend

The South Hayward, Union City and Fremont BART stations will be closed for two weekends in July, including this holiday weekend, so transit workers can lay down tracks to connect the line with a Hayward maintenance complex that’s being built in preparation for the “fleet of the future” cars.

The same section of the line will also be closed July 16 and 17 for continued maintenance work.

Workers will be doing general repairs, including fixes to the power transmission infrastructure, as well as installing crossover tracks at the Hayward maintenance center, said Taylor Huckaby, a BART spokesman.
