The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) recently awarded a $69.8 million construction contract to OHLA USA Inc. for the Turnbull Canyon Road grade separation project in Southern California.
The $98.1 million project is located in Industry, California, and the unincorporated community of Hacienda Heights. The Turnbull Canyon Road crossing is ranked as the 30th most dangerous grade crossing in Los Angeles County out of a total of 1,006 crossings.
The project calls for the construction of a two-lane roadway overpass to carry motor vehicles over Union Pacific Railroad tracks and a separate pedestrian bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists. The grade separation is being funded by a combination of state and local funding sources. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2024.
The grade separation will eliminate crossing collisions and reduce delays for motorists and emergency responders, lower greenhouse-gas emissions from idling vehicles, and provide significant safety, mobility and air-quality benefits to local communities adjacent to the freight corridor, Alameda Corridor-East (ACE) Program officials said in a news release.
The Turnbull Canyon project is the final grade separation in the $1.9 billion ACE program, which involves grade separations and crossing improvements along the ACE Trade Corridor running to and from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
