The California High-Speed Rail Authority is studying a possible tunnel under Burbank airport for the route of the state's troubled bullet train.
The complexity of building a bullet train through Southern California’s urban maze is leading state officials to consider two major additions: a tunnel under the Burbank airport and a project that would help a freight railroad expand its switching yards in the Inland Empire.
At the same time, the rail authority must comply with tough state design requirements. Any violations could prompt a lawsuit that challenges the legality of the entire project. The route was determined to be easier to construct and cause less harm than two other alternatives, though it is somewhat longer.
“Our trip times are required by law,” spokeswoman Annie Parker said. “As the environmental documents in the north and the south continue to be finalized, we will continue analysis and refinements required to ensure that high-speed rail meets them.” Miller said the rail authority is discussing going under Runway 826, the east-west runway at the airport.
