The Jurupa Road Grade Separation Project

This project will construct a new, four-lane underpass on Jurupa Road under Van Buren Boulevard and the Union Pacific Railroad bridge. The underpass will improve safety and traffic circulation by separating train traffic from vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. It will also improve the quality of life for Jurupa Valley residents by eliminating waiting for trains, train whistles and pollution from idling vehicles.

🚧 Behind the K-Rail & Milestone Reached! 🚧

We are taking you behind the K-rail for an up-close look at a major milestone for the Jurupa Grade Separation Project.

Crews placed the first 60-foot-long steel girders for the future Union Pacific Railroad bridge. These massive structural beams were fabricated in Utah, and large semi-trucks are delivering them to the project site. 62 girders will support the Phase 1 UPRR bridge deck, and this erection marks an exciting milestone as construction continues to progress. Phase 1 of the UPRR bridge is expected to be completed later this year.

✅ PROJECT MILESTONES

✅ Van Buren Boulevard

A. Van Buren Boulevard southbound bridge opened in Fall 2024

B. Van Buren Boulevard and Rutile Road intersection improvements substantially completed in Fall 2024

✅ Pedley + Jurupa Intersection

C. Pedley and Jurupa intersection
Construction completed in August 2025

Signal turn on completed August 2025

✅ Felspar Street Improvements

D. Stormwater Pipe Installation is being placed under Felspar Street near Jurupa Road. This work is part of the larger stormwater drainage system designed to collect and convey stormwater pumped from Jurupa Road beneath Van Buren Boulevard to the underground concrete box culvert, and ultimately to the Bly Channel. The system is in place to prevent flooding on Jurupa Road under the new bridges.

D. Curb and gutter, sidewalk construction, and paving of Felspar Street

Substantially Completed: August 2025

✅ Bly Channel Extension

E. Bly Channel Extension is under construction south of Jurupa Road. Crews are constructing a concrete-lined channel and rock-lined channel to improve the Bly Channel drainage for the new railroad tracks.

Substantially Completed: July 2025

✅ Arch Culvert Drainage

F. Arch Culvert Drainage Improvements under UPRR main tracks. The arch culvert extension will facilitate the temporary track construction that is required to construct the new UPRR track bridge at Jurupa Road and Van Buren Boulevard. The arch culvert extension will also be used for future track expansion.

Completed: July 2025

✅ Jurupa Road Earth Moving Activities

G. Jurupa Road Earth Moving Activities under Van Buren Boulevard will remove soil to push Jurupa Road under Van Buren Boulevard and the UPRR train tracks. A portion of the soil will be used for temporary railroad track construction. The excess soil will be exported from the project site.

Completed: June 2025

✅ Temporary Track Construction

H. New Temporary Railroad Track construction is underway to move trains off the existing mainline and spur line tracks so the first phase of the UPRR railroad bridge can be constructed.

Substantially completed: November 2025
