New Construction Update: SVS North Entrance Project Begins

Sacramento Valley Station is excited to announce that construction has officially begun on the SVS North Entrance, marking a major milestone in expanding access and improving connectivity to Sacramento’s growing Railyards District.

What is Happening?

Crews have started early site work at the future SVS North Entrance location, where the existing stairs and concrete walls will be removed to make way for the new entrance. This transformation will enhance access and safety for passengers while supporting the continued revitalization of the historic Central Shops District.

The SVS North Entrance is expected to begin full construction by November, bringing improved pedestrian pathways, accessibility upgrades, and a modern design that connects directly to the Railyards’ mixed-use developments.

Project Highlights

  • Improved Access: The new entrance will make it easier for riders and visitors to enter from the north side of the Railyards.
  • Enhanced Safety: Removal of aging infrastructure and installation of new, ADA-compliant access points.
  • Historic Integration: Design elements will reflect the character of the historic Railyards Central Shops buildings.
