Final Merced-to-Fresno EIR/EIS Certified by HSR Authority
The California High-Speed Rail Authority Board last week certified the final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement for the Merced-to-Fresno section of the high-speed train project.
The authority says it now anticipates starting construction in late 2012 or early 2013. The authority also chose a north-south route and station locations for Merced and Fresno.
