Tulare Street Undercrossing

Overview

The Tulare Street Undercrossing will take traffic under the existing Union Pacific Railroad and future high-speed rail lines. This grade separation will eliminate the existing crossing at Tulare Street.

Location

On Tulare Street in downtown Fresno, between G and H Streets next to Chukchansi Park.

Currently

Between downtown and Fresno’s Chinatown, progress continues on the Tulare Street underpass. Both tracks of the Union Pacific railroad have been cutover to the shoofly, a temporary track built for the construction of the grade separation. Also, the west approach retaining walls and excavation under G Street is now complete. Crews have also installed the falsework for the G Street Bridge, placed concrete to form the bridge deck, and are now preparing to begin post-tensioning the ducts inside the bridge deck.

When complete, the Tulare Street Underpass will be 22 feet below grade and will include pedestrian access.
