The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) has released its Fall 2023 Construction Update, highlighting progress on the nation’s first high-speed rail project, including 10 structures completed or opened to traffic this year and progress at various construction sites with a record 1,612 workers dispatched to job sites daily in November.
Since the start of construction, the CHSRA has created more than 11,500 construction jobs, a majority going to residents from the Central Valley. On average, nearly 1,500 workers are dispatched to a high-speed rail construction site daily. The authority has begun work to extend the 119 miles under construction to 171 miles of future electrified high-speed rail from Merced to Bakersfield.
There are more than 25 active construction sites in California’s Central Valley, with the CHSRA having also environmentally cleared 422 miles of the high-speed rail program from the Bay Area to the Los Angeles Basin.
