Transit officials in California have awarded a contract for emergency repairs to stabilize a slipping hillside that has pushed a section of beachside railroad toward the Pacific Ocean.
Oakland, Calif.-based geotechnical contractor Condon-Johnson & Assoc. will perform emergency stabilization work along an approximately 700-ft-long section of track on the Orange County Transportation Authority-owned Orange County Line and Inland Empire-Orange County Line in San Clemente. The team is currently finalizing design and permitting, OCTA spokesperson Eric Carpenter says.
