Bakersfield Station Alignment Shift — New Station Location North of 7th Standard Road
Linked Projects
Summary
California High-Speed Rail Authority has dropped the downtown Bakersfield station option and shifted the preferred station location north of 7th Standard Road. This alignment change will likely trigger new or revised design, environmental, and engineering procurement activity for the updated corridor.
Details
Alignment and station location changes typically generate new rounds of design, environmental, civil engineering, and community engagement consulting contracts — firms positioned in the Bakersfield area or with HSR station design experience should monitor upcoming solicitations.
