Las cuadrillas trabajarán durante las 24 horas y deberán cerrar el trayecto entre las estaciones Concord y Pleasant Hill. Esta crítica obra reemplazará vías férreas de casi 50 años de antigüedad, lo cual es posible gracias a los fondos de la Medida RR autorizada por los votantes. Durante las horas de servicio, los pasajeros que deban cubrir el trayecto entre esas estaciones serán trasladados por autobuses gratuitos. El equipo de mantenimiento de BART necesita que la vía esté cerrada durante cuatro fines de semana a fin de reemplazar vías, balasto, vitales equipos eléctricos y de control del tren, y para hacer mejoras en el sistema de drenaje y rehabilitar las plataformas de la estación Concord. Este período se extiende desde el último fin de semana de abril hasta el segundo fin de semana de junio. Además de que se verán luces por la noche, los vecindarios cercanos a las vías férreas de BART podrán esperar ruido de vehículos de construcción y la operación de maquinaria pesada durante este período de mantenimiento. Una vez que finalice el trabajo, los vecinos notarán un nivel de ruido reducido de los trenes, en tanto que los pasajeros de BART disfrutarán de un viaje más suave, más seguro y más confiable. Los clientes que pasen por las estaciones Concord o Pleasant Hill deberán bajar de los trenes para tomar autobuses gratuitos, suministrados por County Connection, que los transportarán hasta la siguiente estación en su dirección de viaje. Las fechas de estos transportes serán el 27 y 28 de abril, 11 y 12 de mayo, 25 al 27 de mayo y 8 y 9 de junio. Los clientes que viajen por esta zona deberán añadir 20 minutos a su tiempo estimado de viaje. Se recomienda a los pasajeros que viajan hacia San Francisco, y que típicamente se estacionan en las estaciones Concord, North Concord o Pittsburg/Bay Point, que manejen hasta la estación Pleasant Hill y se estacionen ahí gratuitamente, para evitar el transporte en autobuses.
