Another milestone on high-speed rail project in California
The Jackson Avenue Grade Separation.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority, in collaboration with Dragados-Flatiron Joint Venture, announced the opening of the Jackson Avenue Grade Separation, the first completed high-speed rail structure in Kings County.
The new overcrossing is located between S.R. 43 and Seventh Avenue, south of the city of Hanford. It is 212 ft long, 35 ft wide and takes traffic over the future high-speed rail tracks.
“We’re proud to continue to work with Kings County in getting the Jackson Avenue Grade Separation open for residents,” said Garth Fernandez, the Authority’s Central Valley Regional Director. “Grade separations such as this ensure a safe operating high-speed rail corridor. This is one of several structures in the Central Valley to be completed this year.”
