Fairway Drive Grade Separation Fact Sheet
Traffic backs up at the Fairway Drive railroad crossing near Walnut Drive North.
| PROJECT DESCRIPTION | |
The Fairway Drive Grade Separation Project would lower Fairway Drive under the two existing Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Metrolink tracks in the City of Industry and unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, immediately north of the 60 Freeway. A four-lane roadway underpass, retaining walls and a new railroad bridge with two existing tracks and possibly one future freight railroad track would be constructed. Business Parkway and Walnut Drive North would be lowered at their intersections with Fairway Drive. |
|
| PROJECT STATUS | |
The Fairway Drive Grade Separation is currently in the preliminary design stage. Preliminary engineering concept plans are expected to be completed in 2012. Project cost is estimated at $106.1 million. |
|
| PROJECT IMPACTS | |
| The project would reduce traffic congestion by an estimated 27.6 vehicle-hours of delay each day resulting from idling vehicles when gate arms are lowered at the crossing for 49 trains per day, projected to increase to 91 trains per day by 2025. Fairway Drive carries 24,800 vehicles per day which is projected to increase to 26,500 vehicles by 2025. The project would eliminate delays for emergency responders and the potential for crossing collisions, with two crossing collisions recorded over the last 10 years. The project would also reduce emissions and eliminate locomotive horn and crossing bell noise at the crossing. | |
