Coastal Rail Line Closed for Routine Maintenance this Weekend

Coastal Rail Line Closed This Weekend

for Routine Maintenance 

No COASTER service in San Diego County January 28-29

to facilitate regular maintenance and infrastructure improvements.


There will be no COASTER service in San Diego County this weekend on Saturday, January 28, 2023, and Sunday, January 29, 2023, to facilitate regular maintenance and infrastructure improvements along the coastal rail corridor.


Weekend closures like these, referred to as Absolute Work Windows (AWWs), occur periodically during the year on a pre-determined schedule. AWWs provide construction crews the opportunity to work safely and unimpeded on and along the rail line to perform improvements and maintenance work.


No replacement bus service connecting COASTER stations will be available. Alternatives for some COASTER passengers may include BREEZE Route 101 or MTS connections.


After this weekend’s closure, COASTER will resume regularly scheduled service on Monday, January 30, 2023. Passengers should note that trains may be delayed up to fifteen minutes on Monday.


After this weekend’s closure, coastal rail service will re-open for regularly scheduled service in time for the Monday morning commute. Passengers should note that trains may be delayed up to fifteen minutes on Monday.


While no passenger rail service will be available during this weekend closure, other vehicles and equipment will operate along the railroad right-of-way and on the rail at non-specified times. Residents along the corridor should remain alert at legal crossings, and not trespass on the railroad right-of-way.


Customers are urged to plan ahead and make alternative travel arrangements. For trip planning assistance, customers can visit GoNCTD.com or contact NCTD Customer Service at (760) 966-6500.

New Changes to Three Feet for Safety Act

For nearly a decade, California motorists have been required to maintain a distance of 3 feet when passing bicyclists. In September 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom approved the OmniBike Bill AB 1909 that modifies the vehicle code to make people on bikes safer on California streets. This new law, which went into effect on January 1, 2023, will require drivers to change lanes, when possible, to provide more space to bicyclists as they pass. It requires drivers to create extra space between their vehicles and any surrounding bicycles on the roadway, reducing the risk of near misses or collisions.
