Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to install a new connector track between the BNSF Railway track and the UPRR tracks in the northern portion of the City of Richmond to facilitate movement of trains between the two tracks to avoid train movement through downtown Richmond. The installation of the connection track, upgrade of existing siding, and related improvements will begin on the BNSF rail line approximately 365 feet south of the Giant Road/John Avenue crossing at about Milepost (MP) 1185.9. The new construction and other proposed improvements will extend southwest, a distance of approx. 1.25 miles, to UPRR MP 14.2, just north of the intersection of the UPRR line and Parr Blvd., within the City of Richmond. The project is located within the City of Richmond and an unincorporated portion of Contra Costa.
