Railroad segment at San Clemente closed for at least another month as track stabilization work continues
The ‘bus bridge’ between Oceanside and Irvine has been going for more than three months now, but Amtrak riders seem to be taking it in stride.
The total trip — train from Fullerton to Irvine, bus from Irvine to Oceanside, train from Oceanside to Santa Fe Station in San Diego, or vice versa — takes two-and-a-half to three hours depending on the time of day and costs about $36 one-way for coach or $56 for business class. The OCTA board of directors declared a local emergency in early October, and said at the time that the stabilization work would take 30 to 45 days to complete. Since then, the projected completion date has been extended several times, largely because of the wet weather, and now is expected to be finished by the end of March.
A long-term plan being developed by the San Diego Association of Governments would reroute the 1.7 miles of tracks in Del Mar inland through a tunnel. That solution could be completed in 2035 at the earliest, SANDAG has said.
