California High-Speed Rail UPRR Shoofly Cut-Over in Downtown Fresno

The JMA Team was excited to witness the first Union Pacific train to pass through the Downtown Fresno shoofly this week as part of our work on the California High Speed Rail Construction Package 1.
CP1, a 32-mile stretch between Madera to Fresno, was the first significant construction contract executed for the high-speed rail program. This package includes 12 grade separations, two viaducts, one tunnel, a major river crossing, and the realignment of State Route 99.
JMA is the engineer of record for the Tutor/Perini/Zachry/Parsons (TPZP) joint venture for the design of the three shooflies of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) mainline in Fresno, including at: Downtown, Westside Wye and Herndon. These 3 shooflies, totaling over 14,000 feet of new track, enable the construction of four underpasses of UPRR required for establishing the high-speed train alignment adjacent to UPRR through Fresno.
