Weekend BART track closure between Union City and Fremont canceled
UNION CITY -- A planned track shutdown this weekend between Union City and Fremont BART stations has been canceled, BART officials said Thursday.
The next scheduled weekend track shutdown for the project is on Sept. 23 to 24.
The track work involves removing potentially hazardous trees ahead of this year's winter storms, officials said.
The announcement comes ahead of BART introducing new scheduling starting Monday next week that will end all 30-minute frequencies on nights and weekends.
There will be an increase of daily service on the Yellow Line running from Antioch to San Francisco, with trains arriving approximately every 10 minutes before 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.
BART's Blue line to and from Dublin will have 20-minute frequencies at all hours, increasing nights and weekends with an added five minutes between trains during weekday daytime hours.
