Opinion: Central Valley subsidence and flooding are the next threat to high-speed rail
This year’s rainy season has raised a new threat to the California high-speed rail project’s construction schedule: flooding.
But shortly after the Authority released its update, several work sites near Corcoran flooded, halting construction. The flooding prompted discussion of a rebirth of Lake Tulare, once the largest lake West of the Mississippi. If the lake were to become a permanent feature, it could leave a portion of the high-speed rail right of way under water.
It remains to be seen whether contractors can make up for lost time. We probably won’t know until the Authority issues its 2024 Business Plan Update. Regardless of whether this incident results in a schedule setback, it may not be the last time weather deals a blow to the project.
