The California High-Speed Rail Authority on Thursday announced a plan to accelerate the process of laying the first tracks on the state’s beleaguered infrastructure project.
The Authority’s board of directors approved a process that invites bids from U.S. manufacturers to acquire high-speed rail track and other required system components, officials said.
The materials will be used to install the first miles of electrified track along the California High-Speed Rail route, the first high-speed rail track to be laid in the U.S.
The Authority states that the process is being accelerated and will result in track being laid in 2026. More
