Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) construction crews are nearly finished with a weeklong excavation project for the county’s first streetcar track in Santa Ana, California.

OCTA media relations specialist Eric Carpenter told The Epoch Times that crews have been preparing to lay down a bed for the project’s 4-mile westbound track installation. The project has kept downtown’s Bristol Street closed to through traffic between First Street and Civic Center Drive since Dec. 4.
