Road 26 Grade Separation

In Madera County, the Road 26 Grade Separation continues to make progress. All 49 pre-cast concrete girders have been placed for the superstructure. Crews continue to tie rebar and pour concrete for the structure’s intermediate diaphragms. Workers are also placing panels and backfilling for the MSE wall along the north approach and backfilling and compacting the embankment for the south approach of the overpass. When completed, the future structure will be a three-way lane roadway and span 636-feet long and 68-feet wide, improving safety in the area for traffic and pedestrians by taking them over the existing BNSF railroad and future high-speed rail tracks.

Several public meetings have been held in Madera County to inform the community of construction of a grade separation on Road 26. When completed, the future structure will be a three-lane roadway and span 636-feet long, improving safety in the area for motorists and pedestrians by taking them over the existing BNSF railroad and future high-speed rail tracks. All utility relocations, including Comcast and PG&E have been completed. Temporary signals along the detour route in the area have also been installed for traffic flow.
