It’s the largest amount of federal money ever given to a West Coast transportation project.
Local officials took part in a Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority ceremony marking the start of construction on the BART SV Phase II extension to Silicon Valley on Friday, June 14, 2024. The project, to open in 2037, includes building a 6-mile BART line from the Berryessa Transit Center in North San Jose through downtown and west to Santa Clara, adding four stations along the way.
“I think felt they stretched as far as they could,’’ Mahan said, adding that the BART extension was competing for federal money with more than 60 other projects nationwide. While BART will operate and maintain the South Bay line, VTA is completing the final phase of the 16-mile extension project with the last six miles running through downtown San Jose and ending in the city of Santa Clara.
