The week of November 17, BART will begin the installation of Next Generation Fare Gates at Warm Springs/South Fremont Station. The first set of gates to be replaced will be the array on the south end of the concourse. While work happens to install the first set of new gates, the second array of old gates will remain open for riders. There will be signage to direct riders to the open gates. Once the installation of the first set of new gates is complete, work will begin on the second array.
A temporary barrier will be installed to provide a safe workspace for the installation team as well as to protect riders from construction. Each new array is expected to take up to two weeks to install. While this work will not impact train service, riders may experience a few minutes wait to pass through the old gates during peak travel hours.
The latest work comes after BART has successfully installed Next Generation Fare Gates at ten stations across the system. All BART stations will have new fare gates by the end of 2025. You can learn more about BART's Next Generation Fare Gate project here.
