摘要

The California High-Speed Rail Authority held a ground-breaking ceremony for the US state's planned high-speed line in Fresno on 6 January. The first phase of the work - Construction Package 1 - comprises a 47km stretch of track through the city of Fresno, linking it to the town of Madera to the north. It was awarded to a consortium of Tutor Perini, Zachry and Parsons in April 2013, which won with a US$985 million (€867 million) bid.
