PROJECT ACTIVITIES
1. General Project Description.
This project will fund the reconstruction of an existing rail crossing with the Southern
California Regional Rail Authority (SCCRA) Orange Line double tracks at Santa Ana
Boulevard, adjacent to the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center,with a new
multimodal grade separated underpass. The reconstructed roadway will be reduced from
six-lanes to four-lanes with on-street protected bikeways, sidewalks, and a pedestrian
overcrossing is included that parallels the rail line.
2. Statement of Work.
Base Phase: Right of Way Acquisition,
Option Phase 1: Construction
The project will reconstruct the existing at-grade highway-rail crossing of Santa Ana
Boulevard and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority Orange Line double
tracks. The project will replace the existing crossing with an underpass structure and
lower the roadway beneath the rail corridor. The underpass structure will be a three span
steel girder bridge on concrete columns and abutments as well as concrete retaining
walls. The roadway will be reconfigured to a four-lane corridor with approximately 12-
foot vehicle lanes, approximately 12-foot median,approximately 6-foot protected
bikeways with an approximately 3-foot landscaped buffer, and approximately 8-foot
sidewalks under two of the bridge spans.The third underpass span will be used as a
pedestrian plaza with landscaping and an approximately 20-foot area set aside for a future
transit corridor. Additionally,the project will construct an approximately 10-foot-wide
concrete pedestrian bridge parallel to the south side of the tracks over Santa Ana
Boulevard.
The project includes intersection modifications. The Santiago Street intersection will be
reconstructed,modify the existing traffic signal, and replacing curb ramps to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) compliance. The Logan Street intersection will
be closed. The Fuller Street intersection will be upgraded to include a new traffic signal,
ADA compliant curb ramps, and 6-foot-wide side connecting the intersection to the Santa
Ana Regional Transportation Center.
The project also involves utility improvements. A stormwater pump station will be
constructed in the grade separation area. Water, sewer, natural gas, and
telecommunications facilities will be relocated into a utility corridor along the
southbound vehicle lanes.
