Elevator work begins at Lake Merritt Station

Dear Customer:

Starting Monday, May 18, 2009, BART crews will begin work to replace an elevator at the Lake Merritt Station.  As part of this work, we will also need to do some modifications to the concourse and platform to accommodate the new elevator.  We expect that this work will take approximately a year and a half to complete.

Crews will erect a wooden enclosed barricade on the concourse and platform to protect you and the construction workers.  In addition to work performed during daytime hours, work will also take place nights and weekends. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience during this period.
