While much of the new construction envisioned by Link21 would happen in Oakland and San Francisco, planners are eager to highlight the project’s regional benefits.
Since launching in early 2021, the Link21 project to create a new train tunnel across the Bay has offered grand plans but few specifics.
One shows BART and regional rail trains — like Capitol Corridor or Caltrain — traveling side by side in a shared alignment from Oakland and Alameda to the Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco. New BART stations could appear in Alameda, Jack London Square, downtown Oakland and East Oakland near the San Antonio neighborhood. Jack London Square, where the A’s are hoping to build a massive development anchored by a new ballpark, and West Oakland could become major transit hubs, hosting both BART stations and regional rail stations.
Link21 remains a long way from reality. Project planning and approvals are expected to last through 2027. Completion is roughly projected for 2039. The very early cost estimate for the project is about $29 billion in year of completion dollars.
