Construction began in 2023 on both high-speed rail structures and were built by contractor Dragados-Flatiron Joint Venture (DFJV). The Mountain View Avenue Grade Separation is located between Cedar and Peach avenues.

Mountain View Avenue Grade Separation by the numbers:

• 368 feet long
• 40 feet wide
• 16,000 cubic yards concrete
• 400,000+ pounds of steel
• 16 pre-cast concrete girders, all manufactured at the DFJV Pre-Cast Facility in Hanford.

The Floral Avenue Grade Separation is located between Cedar and Chestnut avenues.

Floral Avenue Grade Separation by the numbers:

• 381 feet long
• 40 feet wide
• 1,600 cubic yards concrete
• 400,000+ pounds of steel
• 16 pre-cast concrete girders, all manufactured at the DFJV Pre-Cast Facility in Hanford.

“Safety is of the utmost importance during and after construction of the high-speed rail project. Grade separations are important to ensure safety around the surrounding communities during future operations. They eliminate existing at-grade crossings, improving safety for vehicular traffic while also reducing traffic congestion and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from idling vehicles.” –Garth Fernandez, Central Valley Regional Director.

Construction progresses every day on the high-speed rail project between Madera and Tulare counties. The Authority has begun work to extend the 119 miles currently under construction to 171 miles of future electrified high-speed rail from Merced to Bakersfield.

현재 캘리포니아 센트럴 밸리에는 25개 이상의 활성 건설 현장이 있으며, 당국은 베이 지역에서 로스앤젤레스 카운티까지 422마일의 고속철도 프로그램을 환경적으로 완전히 정리했습니다.

Since the start of high-speed rail construction, the project has created more than 13,000 good-paying construction jobs for residents, a majority going to residents of the Central Valley. Nearly 1,500 workers are dispatched to a high-speed rail construction site daily.
