Alameda Corridor Program Management
Los Angeles, California

DMJM+HARRIS, leading a joint venture, is providing program management, conceptual development, and engineering services to the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA), the Port of Los Angeles, and the Port of Long Beach.

The Alameda Corridor is a consolidated railroad link between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and downtown Los Angeles. Once completed, it will reduce congestion at over 200 at-grade railroad/highway crossings, while consolidating 90 miles of branch line tracks currently used by the Union Pacific (UP) and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (Santa Fe) railroads. The corridor is grade-separated as currently proposed, and consists of a center depressed section with each end section at grade.

Since the late 1980s, the joint venture has developed conceptual designs, conducted preliminary engineering, conducted highway and railroad capacity studies, evaluated alternative routes and designs, prepared environmental reports, and performed program management services for the development of the Alameda Corridor project.

As a mitigation project for the growth of the ports, the Alameda Corridor will include the following railroad features:

Double-tracked railroad with centralized control
Consolidation of railroad traffic
Depressed (below-grade) trainway, with short bridges for intersecting vehicular traffic
At-grade trainway with highway grade separation
Continuous at-grade drill track to maintain rail service to local customers
40-mph design for freight track operation

Widening of Alameda Street for improved highway/arterial service for traffic and truck haul
In preparation for final implementation of the corridor, the joint venture team has proposed alternative schedules and staged implementation plans, has developed and work-arounds for anticipated opportunities and restraints.
As part of its program management role, DMJM+HARRIS is responsible for right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation coordination, MIS systems, and construction monitoring services.
