BART Silicon Valley

BART Silicon Valley BART Silicon Valley Construction on the second phase of the project will commence as additional funding is secured.

VTA's Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Silicon Valley Extension is a 16-mile extension of the existing BART system to San Jose, Milpitas and Santa Clara, which will be delivered through a phased approach. The first phase, the Berryessa Extension, is a 10-mile, two-station extension, beginning in Fremont south of the future BART Warm Springs Station and proceeding in the former Union Pacific Railroad

right-of-way through Milpitas, the location of the first station, and then to the Berryessa area of north San Jose, at the second station. VTA continues project development activities for the second 6-mile phase of the project that includes a 5.1 mile-long subway tunnel through downtown San Jose, and ends at grade in Santa Clara near the Caltrain Station.

VTA recently welcomed the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for a tour of the BART Silicon Valley Phase II West Portal project site.

As the agency responsible for planning, financing and coordinating the Bay Area’s transportation network, they play a vital role in advancing this transformative transit investment.

MTC’s recent allocation of $192.5M in Regional Measure 3 funds to the project supports critical tunnel-readiness activities and continues the strong momentum on BSVII as we approach major construction. The allocation is the first funding tranche of a larger $375M RM3 package that, along with other funding sources, is constructing VTA’s BART Silicon Valley further into Santa Clara County.

Thank you to MTC for your continued partnership and support in ensuring timely funding to keep the project on schedule and within budget, while advancing regional mobility throughout the Bay Area.

As the BSVII internship program comes to a close, our group of interns are walking away with a deeper understanding of what it takes to deliver a project of this scale.

In just a few weeks, they've seen how quickly progress can happen, giving them a deeper appreciation for the project’s scale, teamwork, and dedication behind every milestone.

We're grateful for the energy, curiosity and hard work they brought to the project this summer and look forward to seeing where their careers take them next.

BSVII's September 2026 Construction Update is now live!

At West Portal, crews are completing lower-level bracing removal activities and advancing construction of the permanent tunnel bottom slab within the launch structure.

Temporary bracing removal in the U-Wall section will continue through early September, while the concrete slab at the Cut and Cover section continues to be constructed.

Work will continue Monday through Saturday, 24 hours a day.

📢 Neighbors may notice lift activity, intermittent steel handling noise, continuous construction activity, vibrations, and increased truck traffic in the area.

A major change is happening below ground at VTA's BART Silicon Valley Phase II Extension project. 🚇

Crews are removing the temporary bracing system that supported the launch structure excavation in the U-Wall section.

Using cranes, lifts and specialized cutting equipment, teams are carefully removing pipe struts and support beams that helped with stabilization during excavation.

As these temporary supports come out, the launch structure will be closer to being ready for the next phase of work: Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) assembly.
