Bay Area Rapid Transit officials announced Wednesday BART received approval from the Federal Transit Administration for the planned 5.4-mile Warm Springs Extension in southern Fremont.
The Warm Springs Extension is a necessary precursor to bringing BART to San Jose and Santa Clara County. It would extend the mass transit system from its current southern terminal in Fremont to that city’s Warm Springs district, near the Santa Clara County line.
The extension will take an estimated five years to construct once funding is fully secured. The extension’s cost was estimated at $678 million in 2004.
