CALIFORNIA. High Speed.

US railway plans also include High- Speed lines. The California project will connect San Francisco with Los Angeles; and the Northeast corridor, linking Boston, New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore and Washington.

n relation to High Speed, the California Iproject (1,287 km) that will connect San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2029 in its first phase is the only project of its kind in the country under construction right now. Currently (June 2015) the fourth section (22 miles) of infrastructure construction in the Central Valley is being tendered, and there is Spanish presence in three of the five pre-qualified teams (Ferrovial Agroman, FCC and Corsán Covián and ACS/Dragados). Con- struction on the section 1 is already un- derway, and sections 2 and 3 (tendered as a single package) were won by a consortium of ACS/Dragados and its subsidiary Flatiron and the local constructor Shimmick, on the construction side, and Sener and Typsa (among others) on the engineering side. "The state governor, Jerry Brown, who strongly supports the project, has spent $ 500 million from the 2015 - 2016 budget In this project, and there are also funds allocated by the federal government. However, the project is far from having sufficient funding to cover the $ 69,000 M which is expected to cost," says Maria Jesus Fernandez.

CHICAGO-ST. LOUIS CORRIDOR. High Speed.

The Transport department of Illinois is funding the modernization of the passenger network between Chicago and St. Louis, where it plans to build a second additional track.

routes with different loads. Since 2009, it is carrying out infrastructure improvements that allow passenger service to reach speeds up to 110 miles per hour, which can be considered High Speed. The part belonging to Canadian Na- tional (CN) between Joliet and Chicago (37 miles) is already equipped with two tracks. The part of Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), between Joliet and Godfrey (215 miles), is equipped with a track along 182 miles and double track in 33 miles. UPRR area and Kansas City South- ern (KCS), between Godfrey and East St. Louis (29 miles) consists of a single track in the first 10 miles, while the remaining 19 miles are already equipped with two tracks. The section owned by Terminal Railroad Association (GND) within the corridor between St. Louis and East St. Louis, MO (3 miles of double track) is located over the bridge in Mississippi River and St. Louis Terminal. In addition to this improvement plan, the state is carrying out studies for the implementation of a true High Speed service. Also, it has commissioned the first studies to analyse alternatives and environmental impact to a path that runs from Chicago to the university city of Urbana-Champaign and with two possible ramifications, one to St. Louis and one to Indianapolis, but there are no funds to proceed beyond this preliminary stage.

Activity Program During 2015 the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will continue with the construction of additional tracks; it plans to carry out improvement works to bridges and structures; improve existing signalling systems; improve and build new crossings.

A consortium of Alstom, Isolux Corsan, the Algerian constructor Cosider with Idom's control resulted in June 2014 with the award of the expansion project of the first tram line in Constan- tine (in operation since July 4, 2013), a railway infrastructure of more than 13 kilometers long with 14 stations and which will also involve the construction of a parking lot for cars. The consortium formed by the Spanish company Isolux Corsán (33.3%), the French company Alstom (37.7%) and the Algerian constructor Cosider (29%) will execute this project, which has had a budget of over 313 million euros.
