The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority), in collaboration with Dragados-Flatiron Joint Venture, announced on July 7, 2023, the completion of the Elkhorn Avenue overcrossing in Fresno County.
The Elkhorn Avenue overcrossing is located between Clovis and Fowler avenues, south of the city of Fresno. The structure spans approximately 345 feet, is 40 feet wide and will serve as a grade separation taking traffic over the future high-speed rail lines.
In Fresno County, the Elkhorn Avenue Grade Separation is paved and ready to be striped and open for future traffic.
Crews continue superstructure work on the Elkhorn Avenue Grade Separation. Crews have formed and placed concrete for the diaphragms of the structure, the portion of the bridge that helps support the load of the bridge deck between the abutments and set girders. 114 deck panels have been installed there. Ironworkers are now installing rebar for the deck of the structure at Elkhorn Avenue.
In anticipation for a full road closure along Elkhorn Avenue, crews conducted road work along the Fowler-Elkhorn bypass. Elkhorn Avenue, between Clovis and Fowler avenues in Fresno County will be closed for construction of an overcrossing through February 2023.
