California High-Speed Rail Project in Shafter

planned

The California High-Speed Rail Authority is proposing changes and improvements to the high-speed rail project within the city of Shafter. The project involves grade separation variations such as overpasses or underpasses along Fresno Avenue, Shafter Avenue, Central Avenue, and East Lerdo Highway. The proposals aim to move tall embankments and retaining walls, reduce noise and dust, improve safety by eliminating at-grade crossings, and enhance air quality and traffic flow. These changes could also shorten construction by up to two years.
