SAN DIEGO — Early Monday morning, the San Diego River Double Track project wrapped up following a full weekend rail closure. It was all part of SANDAG's $93.9 million project to double-track the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) corridor. This the second busiest passenger rail line in the United States.
"Passenger and freight trains can now travel continuously in each direction along the seven-mile stretch of railway that runs from Garnet Avenue/Balboa Avenue to the Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego," said Jessica Gonzales, a Public Information Officer with SANDAG here in San Diego.
The San Diego River Double Track project began construction in fall 2016. The first bridge constructed for the project wrapped up in February 2018.
