The underpass is now open to traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The Poso Avenue underpass is located between State Route (SR) 43 and J Street and has four lanes and pedestrian access. It will serve as a grade separation, taking traffic and pedestrians under the BNSF freight railroad and future high-speed rail tracks.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_44429\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44429\" class=\"wp-image-44429 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/poso-ribbon-cutting-360x203.jpg\" alt=\"A group of people cutting a ceremonial ribbon at the overpass opening\" width=\"360\" height=\"203\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-44429\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tap for a larger image<\/p><\/div><div id=\"attachment_44425\" style=\"width: 280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44425\" class=\"wp-image-44425 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/poso-underpass-270x360.jpg\" alt=\"Road view shot of Poso Underpass\" width=\"270\" height=\"360\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-44425\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tap for a larger image<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe California High-Speed Rail Authority is appreciative for the collaboration and partnership from the city of Wasco as we bring this historic project one step closer to completion,\u201d said Central Valley Regional Director Garth Fernandez. \u201cCompletion of the Poso Avenue underpass brings us closer to completion of this southernmost section of construction in the Central Valley and delivering electrified passenger service for the people of California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe city is excited to have this important underpass open to traffic today,\u201d said Wasco City Manager Scott Hurlbert. \u201cPoso Avenue is a vital connection between Wasco\u2019s industrial area and Highway 43, and also provides secondary access to Highway 46. The new underpass, combined with the closure of the Sixth Street rail crossing, removes two at-grade rail crossings, a significant safety improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poso Avenue underpass and grade separation by the numbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1,084 feet long;<\/li>\n<li>67 feet wide;<\/li>\n<li>21 feet below grade;<\/li>\n<li>Three bridges that will carry either high-speed rail, BNSF, or vehicle traffic over Poso Avenue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Poso Street underpass is the latest structure to be opened to traffic in Kern County, and the sixth structure to be completed in the Central Valley this year. The Authority also announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/2023\/07\/18\/photo-release-high-speed-rail-authority-completes-overcrossing-in-kern-county\/\">completion of the McCombs Road<\/a> grade separation in July.<\/p>\n<p>Also last month, the Authority announced the completion of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/2023\/07\/07\/photo-release-high-speed-rail-completes-overcrossing-in-fresno-county\/\">Elkhorn Avenue overcrossing<\/a> in Fresno County, and earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/2023\/05\/03\/photo-release-high-speed-rail-completes-two-overcrossings-improving-safety-in-kings-county\/\">g<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/2023\/05\/03\/photo-release-high-speed-rail-completes-two-overcrossings-improving-safety-in-kings-county\/\">rade separations at Idaho and Dover avenues<\/a> in Kings County were also opened to traffic. The Authority announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/2023\/05\/10\/photo-release-high-speed-rails-signature-arched-cedar-viaduct-complete\/\">completion of the Cedar Viaduct<\/a>, a high-speed rail signature structure in Fresno County, in May.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of construction, the Authority has created more than 11,000 construction jobs, a majority going to residents from the Central Valley. This includes creating more than 2,116 jobs for residents living in Kern County.<\/p>\n<p>The Authority has begun work to extend the 119 miles under construction to 171 miles of future electrified high-speed rail from Merced to Bakersfield. There are more than 30 active construction sites in California\u2019s Central Valley, with the Authority having environmentally cleared 422 miles of the high-speed rail program from the Bay Area to the Los Angeles Basin.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on construction, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buildhsr.com\">www.buildhsr.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The following link contains recent video, animations,
