Crews already successfully installed a new fare gate at the station's elevator entrance in April, and last December, BART debuted the new gate style at the West Oakland station.
While the first set of gates closest to the Seventh Street entrance at the Civic Center station is closed for construction, the other two will remain open. BART said crews will work on each set one at a time until all fare gates are replaced.
