Passenger Loading Detours

Balboa Park Station passenger loading zone detours starting June 24

FOR BART PASSENGERS:

Starting Thursday, June 24, 2021, the Balboa Park Station passenger loading zone will be closed for construction with detours to temporary loading zones.

During construction, temporary loading zones will be provided as follows (see map).

  • Passenger Loading: Ocean Avenue for vehicles traveling in both directions
