- Join us on MegaBuilds as we delve into the California High-Speed Rail project - the most ambitious and expensive high-speed railway venture in the World. With a budget surpassing $100 billion, this project is more than just a high-speed transit system; it's a pivotal part of California's initiative to curb greenhouse gas emissions and revolutionize sustainable travel.
Project Scope: Spanning over a decade in the making, the California High-Speed Rail stands as a landmark $128 billion infrastructure endeavor, marking the most extensive project in California's history.
Construction Progress: Witness the transformation across the Central Valley, from the imposing Cedar Viaduct in South Fresno to the innovative Tule River Viaduct in Tulare County.
Economic and Environmental Impact: Learn how the project is not only generating over 11,500 construction jobs, predominantly in the Central Valley, but also advancing environmental sustainability across the state.

It's not a railway, it's just a project . Nobody born yet will ever that train .
Land in California is very expensive, I live here and was born here and grew up in Los Angles County where my grandparents are buried at. CA is a very mountainous state, with at least 8 mountain ranges, those who live back east would get sticker shock, down in the LA Basin you need a minimum income of $70,000.00 a year to live there thanks to zoning laws that favor single family homes, all the empty land in the basin was developed decades ago and I watched it happen, my family has lived in CA since 1920 and my grandparents are historical figures out of Culver City CA.
There is HS2 in the UK is Cost: Estimated at £48 billion (approximately $64 billion).
Then there is the i69 FWY which costs more per mile than HSR in CA does, a bridge over the Ohio river is estimated to cost between $1.4 Bn and $1.9 Billion to link Indiana and Kentucky and the bridge has still not been built.
People whine about HSR cost, just not about FWYS cost...
Oh and the $4.2 Billion? the CHSRA has that now. Rails and HST's have been put out for bidding and all 119 miles is in CHSRA hands. CA is being slowed down by stuff it doesn't own that will be moved by their respective owners, like railroad tracks, power lines, a farming canal, sewers, streams, etc, etc, etc... Some here on youtube say that HSR was given $100 Bn, yet neither DOT or CHSRA as ever had that much for HSR, what has been built is mostly with state money which hasn't crossed $15.35 Bn thanks to Cap n Trade($5.4 Bn) and the HSR Bonds($9.95 Bn) and $3.35 Bn in location locked HSR Grants from the US government... CAHSR recently has been awarded $3.07 Bn and Brightline West(No relation to CAHSR) was awarded $3.07 Bn for its HSR project from Cucamonga CA to Las Vegas NV. BW has a 50yr lease of the median of the 15 FWY in CA.

Lawmakers voted to release a critical $4.2 billion in bond funds to finish building the 171-mile Central Valley line, and also authorized $3.65 billion for other transit efforts across the state for fiscal year 2022-2023. The Central Valley extension - which will link Bakersfield and Merced - is now slated to run trains by 2030.
