US EditionCalifornia’s long-delayed bullet train slated to run in the Central Valley by 2032, report says
The new overpass eliminates a key at-grade crossing, enhancing safety and reducing wait times for thousands of vehicles daily, as part of ongoing construction creating over 15,500 jobs.
- The California High‑Speed Rail Authority opened the Avenue 88 Grade Separation in Tulare County, the 57th completed structure on the Merced-to-Bakersfield segment and second in Tulare County this year, clearing State Route 43 and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway with 20 precast concrete girders.
- Years of delays and an inflated budget have slowed the project, with costs rising from $33 billion in 2008 to $128 billion last year, and federal funding was pulled in July by President Donald Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
- The Authority says 171 miles are under construction between Merced and Bakersfield, creating more than 15,500 jobs with up to 1,700 workers active daily.
- Grade separations like Avenue 88 eliminate at-grade crossings, cutting wait times and collision risks, while improving access for local farmers and emergency responders in Central Valley communities.
- Tracklaying is due later this year, and the Authority recently heard from 31 potential private investors and will release an updated estimate next year.
