According to Caltrain, Hillsdale Station will be closed for up to five months in early 2019, to allow for the building of a new elevated Hillsdale Station. 

During that period, improved Caltrain service will be provided at the Belmont Station, as well as enhanced SamTrans bus service along El Camino Real.

Caltrain said that the $180m project is included in its capital budget and comprises funding from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority, California High-Speed Rail Authority, California State Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the City of San Mateo. 

The city of San Mateo is the sponsoring partner, which started planning the 25th Avenue grade separation project in 1999.

Caltrain is owned and operated by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, provides commuter rail service from San Francisco to San Jose, with limited commute service to Gilroy.
