Document Description
The project will connect two existing sidings creating a second main track within ACE's most congested
corridor, permitting double track operation between Fremont and just north of the Alviso Wetlands.
Through connecting the existing sidings, the project will require alterations to one private at-grade crossing
and require one new 35-foot bridge over a drainage canal.
The project will increase overall operating capacity and permit addition trains to run on the trackway.
