A proposed high-speed rail line connecting Southern California and Las Vegas will include wildlife crossings as part of an agreement between the developer, Brightline West, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
The developer received approval from Caltrans two years ago to construct the rail line in the right-of-way of Interstate 15. The dedicated wildlife crossings announced this week will cross over the existing northbound and southbound highway lanes and the future high-speed rail system to be built within the median.
