Early Operating Segment (Merced to Bakersfield) Progress 

The Authority has delivered 99 percent of the right-of-way (ROW) parcels to the design-builder, and 83 percent of utilities have been relocated along the 119-mile test track. A total of 53 structures have been completed, along with 60 miles of guideway.  

The Merced and Bakersfield extensions, which are under advanced design, is currently in the mapping process for ROW acquisitions and estimated to be completed by the end of 2025.  

The Authority will provide an updated schedule later this year for the Merced to Bakersfield segment.
