Fare Gate replacement work to begin July 18 at Civic Center Station

On Thursday, July 18, BART will begin replacing the existing fare gates on the concourse level of Civic Center Station with new Next Generation Fare Gates.

The work at Civic Center will happen at the array, or set of gates, closest to Seventh Street entrance on the north end of the concourse level of the station (Array 1 in the map). A temporary barrier will be installed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. Installing this new array is expected to take several weeks to complete. The station’s other two fare gate arrays (Array 2 and Array3) will remain open during the installation work. 

Once the new array is installed, BART will move forward with replacing all remaining old fare gates at Civic Center Station, one array at a time.  In April, crews successfully installed a new fare gate at the elevator entrance on the Civic Center Station platform.
