With the start of the New Year comes
new construction in the South Valley for
Construction Package 4 (CP 4). Though
utility relocation and clearing and grub- Garces Hwy
bing have been underway, the first con-
struction activity began recently with ge-
otechnical testing at Garces Highway in
Kern County. At right, a blue drill rig is
boring a shaft about 70 feet deep. Below
that, crews can be seen constructing the
rebar cage that will be lowered into the
shaft and covered with concrete. Crews
are testing the soil conditions for future
construction of a viaduct that will carry
high-speed trains over the Garces High-
way.

Madera County
AVEN UE 7 |New Project
Crews install rebar at one of the abutments for the alignment and crossing for
Avenue 7. The roadway is being realigned at the point where it will cross over the
high-speed rail line. Utility and irrigation relocation work have also begun in the
area, which is important for the eventual realignment of Road 33 and future dirt
embankment work for the overcrossing.
AVENUE 12
Construction of the abutments for the high-speed rail crossing progresses
alongside Avenue 12 in Madera County. The overpass structure will carry
traffic over the high-speed rail line and existing freight tracks. In January,
rebar was installed for the western abutment wall and 615 cubic yards of
concrete was poured. Next, forms will be removed and installed on the
eastern abutment wall to pour the other side of the bridge.

AVEN UE 11
Abutment construction is beginning for the overcrossing at Avenue 11 in Madera
County. The embankment work is largely complete, foundations have been poured
for the abutments and crews have begun installing rebar for the abutment walls. The
work has closed Avenue 11 between Road 30 ½ and 33 ½ as crews construct a
single span overcrossing that will take traffic over the high-speed rail line.

SAN JOAQUIN RIVER VIDUCT |FRESNO
Workers are making good progress installing the decking on the per-
gola section of the San Joaquin River Viaduct. The viaduct will carry
high-speed trains over the San Joaquin River and existing freight tracks,
forming one of the largest structures on this first phase of high-speed
rail construction. Closer to the river, support pier construction is nearly
complete for the section of the viaduct that will carry trains over the
Fresno/Madera County line, while pier caps are being formed and
poured tying the piers together. The last of the pergola pre-cast girders
were set recently which was a major highlight for the team.
TUL ARE STREET UNDERPASS
DOWNTOWN FRESNO
Work continues on an undercrossing for Tulare Street between G and H streets in
downtown Fresno. Crews are constructing the substructure walls for the crossing
that will take Tulare Street traffic under high-speed and existing freight rail lines. A
later phase of construction will build a new bridge for G Street traffic to cross over
Tulare as it goes below grade. A similar undercrossing and G Street bridge will be
constructed at Ventura Street later this spring.

CEDAR VIADUCT |SOUTH FRESNO
Workers on the Cedar Viaduct tie rebar prior to an upcoming concrete
deck pour. This will connect the two sections of the viaduct over North
Avenue. Spans between bents are approximately 120’ each, and with
the completion of the deck span over North Avenue, the viaduct will
be a half mile long. Ultimately, the completed Cedar Viaduct will span
about three-quarters of a mile. An irrigation canal pipe bypass is also
being installed on the viaduct.
STATE ROUTE 99 REALIGNMENT
CENTRAL FRESNO
Crews work on the construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk on the Clinton Avenue
bridge over State Route 99. The new bridge reopened to traffic late last year, and
the northbound exit ramp reopened shortly afterward. The other three ramps are
still being constructed and are scheduled to be open to traffic by spring. The next
phase of work will now include demolition and reconstruction of the Ashlan Avenue
bridge.

FRESNO TRENCH & SR 180 PASSAGEWAY
FRESNO
At the Fresno Trench, crews are about to break through to the south side of State
Route 180 (SR 180). The trench will run under the highway, two rail spurs and the
Dry Creek Canal. With steel beams in place to provide additional support for the
trench walls under SR 180, excavation will continue until the trench is about 40
feet below ground level. On Dry Creek Canal, crews have demolished a section of
the old canal and graded the site. The canal improvements are included in Fresno
Trench construction, as the canal will eventually cross over the trench. Crews are
working quickly to form the invert (bottom) and walls of the box culvert. Canal work
has a limited work period due to the irrigation season.
AMERICAN AVENUE GR ADE SEPAR ATION |FRESNO COUNTY
Columns and abutments have been poured for the American Avenue overcrossing at the end of Construction Package 1, south of Fresno and
crews have begun constructing the bent cap falsework for the section of the crossing that will carry traffic over the existing freight tracks and
high-speed tracks.
