Tule River Viaduct

Overview

The Tule River Viaduct will take high-speed trains over State Route 43, the BNSF freight line and the Tule River in Tulare County.

Location

South of Avenue 144 / Poplar Avenue and State Route 43, to the south of the Tule River.

Currently

At the Tule River Viaduct south of the City of Corcoran, crews continue to excavate the bents by drilling cast-in-drilled holes (CIDH) for the foundation of the structure. You can see crews have already begun forming, installing rebar, and placing concrete for the columns on both sides of the BNSF rail line. Like other structures in Construction Package 2-3, the Tule River Viaduct will be a combination viaduct and pergola structure. More than 75 columns will need to be drilled and installed to carry high-speed trains over the existing BNSF rail line, State Route 43, and the Tule River. When complete, the Tule River Viaduct will be more than 3,573 feet long.
