The six-mile extension will add four new stations at 28th Street in San Jose's Little Portugal, near the intersection of Santa Clara and Market streets in downtown San Jose, the San Jose Diridon rail depot and a ground-level station near PayPal Park
The modification - suggested by the project's design build contractor Kiewit Shea Traylor Joint Venture, or KST - would widen the proposed tunnel bore by roughly five feet and is expected to be easier to maintain, cheaper to construct and more efficient to access both for riders and emergency responders.
"You can operate a pick-up truck underneath there," Salpeas said."People can go under there and work if necessary." BART, VTA and other South Bay officials christened the first phase of the South Bay extension in June 2020, with the opening of BART stations in northern San Jose's Berryessa neighborhood and Milpitas.
