On Sept. 15, 2022, the Jackson Avenue Grade Separation was opened to traffic in Kings County. This is the first structure to be completed in Kings County. The new overcrossing is located between State Route 43 and Seventh Avenue, south of the city of Hanford. It is 212-feet long, 32-feet wide and takes traffic over the future high-speed rail tracks.
Crews are working and close to completing work on the Melga Canal near the future Jackson Avenue overcrossing. Earlier this month, crews poured more than 200 cubic yards of concrete to form transition ends which include wing walls, head walls, and concrete lining. Once the concrete culvert is complete, it will achieve both sustaining consecutive water flow and having embankment dirt placed overhead.
