placentia avenue undercrossing - Orange County Transportation

PLACENTIA
AVENUE
UNDERCROSSING
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) will construct a vehicle
undercrossing at the intersection of Placentia Avenue and the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe Railway. As part of the project, the roadway will be lowered to separate car
traffic from train traffic. The undercrossing will be located between Crowther Avenue
and State Route 57.
During construction, Placentia Avenue will be open to travel in both directions, with cars
traveling on a temporary roadway constructed just east of the current route while train
traffic is realigned.
AT A GLANCE
When completed, the project will move cars safely and smoothly under the railroad
tracks, enhancing safety and boosting mobility.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
Construction of the Placentia Avenue undercrossing began in early 2012 and is
scheduled for completion in mid 2014. Work is scheduled so that adjacent crossings
are not closed to drivers at the same time, and OCTA is working to reduce the effects of
construction on the community. Some night work is anticipated throughout the project.
SAFETY: OCTA’S TOP PRIORITY
OCTA's highest priority is safety for its project workers and the public. During
construction, please:
• Slow down and watch for workers and equipment
• Allow extra time to get to work, school and appointments
Updated, 3/03/14
• Be extra careful when driving at night and in rainy weather
• Avoid use of mobile phones orother distractions
