In May 2023, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) and contractor Dragados-Flatiron Joint Venture (DFJV) announced the completion of Dover Avenue.
The Dover Avenue Grade Separation is located between Seventh and Ninth Avenues, east of State Route (SR) 43, and spans 227 feet and is 43 feet wide.
This Spring, 12 pre-cast concrete girders will be placed to form the superstructure of the Dover Avenue Overcrossing which will take traffic over the future high-speed rail lines. These girders will range from 62-feet to 91-feet long and weigh as much as 89,000 lbs. When complete, the overcrossing will be 227-feet long and more than 43-feet wide.
In February, crews broke ground at the Dover Avenue Overcrossing in Kings County. Currently, crews are hauling roughly 800-900 truckloads of dirt each day to form the slopes of the future overcrossing and grade separation. When complete, the overcrossing will take traffic over the future high-speed rail lines and will span 2,816-feet long and 870-feet wide.
