There are multiple utility relocations ongoing near the Church Avenue Grade Separation, including the installation of new sewer lines being installed under the BNSF railroad tracks. Crews are also working with Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District to complete its largest jack and bore – a method of horizontal boring for utility construction – under the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks. Majority of the utility work is expected to be completed this fall, and substructure work will begin shortly after. When complete, the Church Avenue Grade Separation will take traffic over the existing Union Pacific and BNSF train tracks, along with the future high-speed rail tracks.
