At the Cesar Chavez Underpass (formerly known as the Ventura Street Underpass), crews continue to work on the construction of the Cesar Chavez Boulevard and H Street intersection by installing the streetlight infrastructure for the underpass. Shoring and pile drilling is currently in progress to allow for the completion of the Union Pacific bridge and high-speed rail bridge, which will take trains over the underpass. When complete, the underpass will serve as a grade separation and will eliminate the previous Union Pacific at-grade railroad crossing, allowing traffic to travel underneath the existing railroad and future high-speed rail tracks.
