FY24 CRS Congressionally Directed Spending-Morgan Hill Grade Separations Project in Morgan Hill, CA

The Morgan Hill Grade Separations Project involves environmental review and preliminary engineering for grade separations at E. Dunne and Tennant Avenue in Morgan Hill, California. The project aims to support adequate emergency vehicle response times by grade separating all crossings. The California High Speed Rail project proposes utilizing the existing Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way, which currently has at-grade crossings and no grade separations, impeding emergency response times. • The project will include environmental review and preliminary engineering (approximately 30% designs) for grade separations. • A pedestrian underpass at the Morgan Hill Downtown Station is also part of the project. • The California High Speed Rail project intends to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles in under three hours at speeds over 200 miles per hour. • The project is funded by the Department of Transportation - Federal Railroad Administration.
