Prop 1A passed by voters in 2008 indicated that the LA to SF project (494 miles) would in total cost $33 billion and be completed in 2020.

Current estimates have the cost for just the Merced to Bakersfield portion (171 milers) at $32 billion with completion in 2035. The entire project from LA to SF is now expected to cost well over $100 billion.
