Rosecrans/Marquardt Grade Separation

Biggs Cardosa is providing project management and structural engineering to LA Metro for the Rosecrans/Marquardt Grade Separation Project which will improve the safety and track flow of the Rosecrans Av/ Marquardt Av intersection. Located in the City of Santa Fe Springs, the Rosecrans/Marquardt grade crossing is traversed by more than 112 freight and passenger trains, and 45,000 vehicles in a 24-hour period. With such heavy through traffic, this intersection has been identified by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as the most hazardous grade crossing in the state. Providing a grade separation will significantly improve safety, eliminate delays and enhance the environment. Biggs Cardosa also provided funding assistance, and supported Metro in obtaining a $15 million TIGER grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
