The Fresno River Viaduct is a bridge to carry California High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) over Route 145, the Fresno River, and Raymond Road in Madera County, California.[1]
It was completed in 2018,[2] the first permanent structure built for CAHSR.[3] The site is just east of the city limits of Madera, California,[3] about 20 miles northwest of the planned Fresno high-speed rail station and about 10 miles southeast of the planned Chowchilla Wye.[4] Because the site is downstream from the John Franchi Diversion Dam, the riverbed is normally dry unless heavy rains cause the dam to overtop.[5][6] The bridge is 1,600 feet long[1] and 25 feet high,[3] and runs parallel to the BNSF Railway bridge over the Fresno River.[7]
