At Avenue 17 in Madera County, crews have placed concrete for both abutments and the seven columns needed for the substructure of the future overpass. Crews are now completing the bent caps, the portion on top of the columns that girders will be placed on in the near future. When completed, Avenue 17 will become a thru road taking traffic over the BNSF railroad and future high-speed rail tracks. The overcrossing will span 614-feet long when completed.
