The Fullerton Road Grade Separation Project is now open, eliminating an at-grade rail crossing that created a bottleneck on a key logistics route in Southern California. The upgraded crossing separates road and rail traffic, improving safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists while helping reduce congestion, fuel consumption, vehicle emissions, and delays for emergency responders.
The project is part of the Alameda Corridor-East (ACE) Project, a broader program of 19 rail grade separations and safety and mobility improvements throughout the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California. The goal of the program is to ease traffic delays at rail crossings to help goods move more efficiently from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to markets across the United States.
