A large crowd turned out for a Saturday morning ground-breaking in March 1995 for a project that separated Millbrae Avenue from the railroad tracks by means of a highway bridge. The Millbrae Avenue grade separation was completed in February 1997 enhancing the safety and reliability of Caltrain with the elimination of the grade crossing.
Traffic now flows smoother, as well.
The project cost was shared by the state, the City of Millbrae and the Transportation Authority. The project was completed under budget.
