State rail authority will seek a $35-million increase for key project in bullet train plan
Relocation of Highway 99 in Fresno, a key part of the bullet train project, is over budget, behind schedule and will cost millions of dollars more to complete, officials said Monday.
The highway project would move a 2.5-mile stretch of the roadway, the principle commercial artery of the Central Valley, to make room for high-speed rail tracks through Fresno. The project currently is running 15% over budget and has fallen about six months behind schedule.........
