UPDATE: Monday, July 15, 2024

Due to unforeseen issues, the estimated return to service date for the elevator is Tuesday, July 16, 2024. 


The concourse to platform elevator at Powell St. Station will be taken out of service on Monday, July 8, 2024 for emergency replacement of cables. The elevator is expected to be back in service by Friday, July 12, 2024.

This is the only concourse to BART and Muni platform elevator at Powell St. Station. Riders will not be able to access the Powell St. Station platforms via elevator from the concourse or street level, nor exit the Powell St. Station platforms via elevator to get to the concourse or street levels.

We recommend riders use the Civic Center or Montgomery Street stations as alternatives. Powell Street Station is 0.4 miles away from Civic Center Station and 0.5 miles away from Montgomery Street Station. Riders can use Muni at street level to travel to and from the Civic Center and Montgomery Street stations. To check if an elevator is in service before arriving at a station, please call 510-834-LIFT (510-834-5438) or 888-2-ELEVAT (888-235-3828), or sign up for elevator status alerts at www.bart.gov/elevators.

If you arrive at any station and find that the elevator(s) are out of service, you may contact a Station Agent to arrange for a lift van to take you to a nearby station with a working elevator.

We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
