Grade Separation: North Milliken Avenue Project
San Bernardino Associated Governments and the City of Ontario are working to construct a bridge (also known as a grade separation) over Milliken Avenue in the city of Ontario. The bridge will carry the east/west Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks over Milliken Avenue.
The 1.5-mile long project will construct a railroad bridge over Milliken Avenue at the existing Union Pacific Railroad train crossing, located between Guasti Road and Airport Drive. The project will eliminate the need for motorists to wait for trains to cross, and enhance safety by separating vehicle and pedestrian traffic from train traffic.
