The state now expects to complete construction on a 119-mile segment of track from Bakersfield to Madera in the Central Valley by 2023. The budget for that segment of track is expected to jump from US $12.4bn to US $13.8bn according to Brian Kelly, the project’s chief executive officer.
Forget all the other mile numbers, they are only constructing presently just 113 miles of it. Add around another 50 miles for the Caltrain's electrification project the CHSR trains will eventually run on, assuming they ever get around to building the San Jose to Madera link.
The DEIS for most of that link came out last year with Alternate 4 being chosen as the Preferred Alternate - which uses mostly at grade running between San Jose and Gilroy paralleling the UP tracks, and will use around 15 miles of tunneling in Pacheco Pass.
