Flooding on the concourse and platform levels at the BART Civic Center Station prompted transit officials to close the station.
Flooding on the concourse and platform levels at the BART Civic Center Station prompted transit officials to close the station late this afternoon.
At around 2:50 p.m., BART said on Twitter reported that the possible cause of flooding originated from the Muni platform level which sits above the BART platform.
Here is what we know: Civic Center Station is currently CLOSED due to flooding on the platform. An issue on the @sfmta_muni platform was leaking water to our platform. Muni engineers are on scene to fix the issue. BART personnel are on scene too. Will continue to update you here. https://t.co/2TDgkWx59D

🙏🙏 Civic Center Station is now RE-OPENED. Trains are stopping at the station now, according to our Operations Control Center. Thanks to all for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.
