BART Tracks Closed Between Concord, Pleasant Hill This Weekend
During the closure, BART is working on a safety initiative to be prepared for winter storms.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — A safety initiative by BART to remove potentially hazardous trees in advance of severe winter storms will result in track closures this weekend between Concord and Walnut Creek.
To provide workers with enough room to safely do the work, free buses will replace trains between the Pleasant Hill and Concord BART stations Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14-15.
Riders in the area should anticipate delays of up to 30 minutes on work weekends. Riders in the area on work weekends will have to get off their train at either Pleasant Hill or Concord and then board a free bus provided by County Connection to the next station in their direction of travel to continue their trip.
