Effective July 15, 2022, the station's west platform (for trains traveling toward the 8th and Capitol Station) will be closed for approximately three years due to major renovation construction of the California Department of Water Resources building, located at 1416 9th Street. The construction is estimated to be completed in October 2025.[3]
