LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Brightline West announced field investigation work in Southern California and Nevada within the proposed rail corridor.
Officials with the high-speed rail say field work began in January to advance to final stages of design in preparation for groundbreaking.
Field investigation is said to include geotechnical borings and samplings, utlity potholing and land surveying.
“Work will take place primarily during daytime hours, with some work at night to minimize disruption to traffic. In some instances, short term closures of freeway shoulders will be required,” officials say. “All work will be done in compliance with applicable environmental regulations and in coordination with Caltrans and the Nevada Department of Transportation.”
