"The project is just one of several massive infrastructure projects under way or planned for West Coast ports. In California, $1.25 billion is being spent on two companion rail links: one in San Gabriel Valley and the other in Orange County...To lessen traffic congestion, half the corridor sits in a trench, 33 feet deep and 50 feet wide. Thirty bridges were constructed over the top of the trench to connect roads and walkways."
