FRESNO, Calif. – Continued progress on building the nation’s first high-speed rail system and a strong partnership with the California construction trades union has helped the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) reach another milestone, the creation of more than 14,000 construction jobs since the start of the project.

“The progress made on this historic project is thanks to the skilled men and women dispatched to high-speed rail construction sites every day. There is no question that transportation projects like this one create good-paying jobs, and I’m proud to continue building upon the work already done to advance construction in the Central Valley and the rest of California.”

Ian Choudri, Authority CEO

Progress on the high-speed rail project is the culmination of work between three design-build contractors including Tutor-Perini/Zachry/Parsons, Dragados-Flatiron Joint Venture, and California Rail Builders.
