- Document Description
- The project is located on the Metrolink Main Tracks between Mile Posts 11.00 and 11.60 in the City of Burbank, in Los Angeles County. The project proposes to modify Control Points (CP) Olive and merge it with CP Burbank Junction. The existing #14 right-hand turnout leading to Brighton Siding would be replaced with a #20 right-hand turnout. This improvement would achieve increased speeds of up to 45 miles per hour for passenger trains and 35 miles per hour for freight trains through the creation of a divergent route along the larger turnout. A small portion of existing main line track #2 would be realigned to accommodate the new crossover. Construction activities would take place within the railroad right-of-way owned by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Construction access would occur from North Front Street and last for up to 1 year (October 2021 through October 2022).
