when will the california high speed rail be completed
California High-Speed Rail This system will be built in two phases. Phase 1 will be about 520 miles (840 km) long, and is planned to be completed in 2029, connecting the downtowns of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Anaheim using high-speed rail through the Central Valley.[6] In Phase 2, the route will be extended in the Central Valley north to Sacramento, and from Los Angeles east through the Inland Empire and then south to San Diego. The total system length will be about 800 miles (1,300 km). Phase 2 has no dates as of yet.
California High-Speed Rail The CAHSRA was established by an act of the California State Legislature and tasked with presenting a high-speed rail plan to the voters. This plan, Proposition 1A, was presented to and approved by voters in 2008 and included a $9 billion bond to begin construction on the initial leg of the network. Construction began in 2015 after a groundbreaking ceremony in Fresno. Completion of the initial operating segment between San Jose Diridon Station and Bakersfield with a spur to Merced is expected in 2025, and the complete first phase between San Francisco and Anaheim is expected in 2029. Phase 2 extensions to Sacramento and San Diego are still in the planning stages.
San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge Tolls were subsequently raised to finance improvements to the bridge approaches, required to connect with new freeways, and to subsidize public transit in order to reduce the traffic over the bridge.
