Transportation officials said project to relocate critical rail line could break ground within three years and be completed by 2030
The San Diego region is slated to receive $300 million to help relocate the train tracks off the eroding cliffs in Del Mar, regional transportation officials announced Friday.
Sections of the seaside bluffs in Del Mar have abruptly collapsed in recent years, causing Coaster and Amtrak service to be temporarily halted for hours or days at a time. Transit officials have reassured the public that passenger and cargo trains along the city’s 1.7-mile stretch of tracks are safe, but the landslides have repeatedly raised the specter of disaster.
The San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, and North County Transit District have over decades spent millions of dollars buttressing the cliffs and repairing drainage structures for stormwater, which along with pounding tides have steadily eroded the cliffs.Still, top state and local officials have recognized the need to eventually relocate the tracks inland, a project currently slated to cost about $2.5 billion, according to officials with SANDAG.
“This $300 million is a critical down payment,” he said. “We have talked for years about moving the rail tracks off the Del Mar Bluffs, and with this funding, we can now do it.”
