On July 15, 2024, the California High-Speed Rail Authority announced the completion of the Floral Avenue Grade Separation. This grade separation will span approximately 381 feet long, 40 feet wide, and will take traffic over the existing rail and future high-speed rail lines.
Work is progressing at two neighboring Fresno County high-speed rail grade separations in Construction Package 2-3. In March, all 16 pre-cast concrete girders were placed at the Floral Avenue Grade Separation in Fresno County. Manufactured by Dragados-Flatiron Joint Venture, girders range from 60-130 feet long and weigh as much as 140,000 lbs. Crews have also completed the diaphragms – the components of the bridge that braces the girders together – and placed all concrete deck panels. Crews are now tying rebar for the deck of the bridge and will place concrete for the bridge deck in the coming weeks.
