Project Description

The Turnbull Canyon Road Grade Separation Project will separate the roadway from the Union Pacific Railroad railroad tracks on Turnbull Canyon Road in the City of Industry/County of Los Angeles. Plans call for constructing a two-lane roadway overpass between Salt Lake Avenue on the north and Clark Avenue on the south to carry vehicles over the railroad tracks.

Project Status

The Turnbull Canyon Road Grade Separation Project is in the final engineering and design stage. State environmental clearance has been obtained, and right-of-way is being acquired. The project cost is estimated at $118 million. The estimated project completion date is Summer 2027.

​

Project Benefits and Project Need

The project would reduce an estimated 447 minutes of delay each day at the crossing, which is traversed by 59 trains per day and is expected to increase to 102 trains per day by 2042. Turnbull Canyon Road carries 19,000 vehicles per day (including 23 school buses, 9 passenger buses, and 11 hazmat trucks), which is projected to increase by 2025. The project would eliminate delays for emergency responders and crossing collisions. Emissions would be reduced, and locomotive horn noise would be eliminated. Since 2010, there have been 132 collisions, including two fatalities and 98 injuries.
