Greater Houston-Galveston area as well as being

used as a major route for transporting goods to

and from the Port of Houston.

Significant congestion, roadway or bridge facilities that need to

be reconstructed or replaced, lack adequate mobility to support

economic development opportunities

IH 35 is the primary route for vehicular and

truck traffic from the border to San Antonio,

Austin & Dallas/Fort Worth. This section of IH

35 has significant truck traffic due to numerousindustrial companies located within this area.

Traffic volume exceeds capacity of roadway. There are

significant traffic bottlenecks at the IH35/IH410N and

IH35/410S interchanges.

Critical to regional and statewide connectivityCongestion due to lack of Capacity and obsolete interchanges.

Current CDA Project

This section of IH 410 is the primary connection

between San Antonio International Airport and

IH 35.

Traffic volume exceeds capacity of roadway. Choke point

occurs at IH 35 as EB 410 merges with NB 35.

This project is necessary to improve the "Y at

Oak Hill". This area has experienced high

residential growth and has not seen any

transportation improvements to facilitate the

convergence of 3 major highways; US 290, SH

71 and Loop 1 about 3 miles east. This projectis identified as a priority in the CAMPO 2035

regional transportation plan.

This serves as a major commuter route that experiences severe

congestion. During peak periods there is no access for

emergency vehicles due to congestion, lack of shoulders and no

alterative routes.

Connects Corpus Christi & Port facilities to

communities and facilities north of the ship

channel

A replacement structure meeting modern design standards does

not fit in the current footprint. New location needed.

Critical route for regional and statewide travel.Congestion due to lack of Capacity and obsolete interchanges.

Critical to regional and statewide connectivitySignicant Congestion. Roadway has Significant Deterioration.

Significant Bridge Deterioration.

South Padre Island is a major statewide tourist

destination. A 2nd Access is needed for public

safety, enhanced local and regional mobility, and

for support of economic development.

Funding challenge. South Padre Island has a single point of

access with the mainland.

Provides only connection to South Padre Island.

Partial collapse in 2001 illustrated importance to

the local economy.

Funding challenge to replace the existing structure. Built in

1974 and nearing the end of its service life in a harsh salt

environment.

This is a critical component of the primary

North/South corridor for both the Austin Region

and the State.

The section described is extremely congested andgenerally

operates at an unacceptable level of service(except in late PM

and early AM hours). This section is within the Austin Central

Business District wherein a plethora of constraints

forexpansion and complications for construction exist.

Critical to regional and statewide connectivity Signicant Congestion.

Intersection of two most important highways inthe Rio Grande Valley, both of which are to

become designated as interstate highways in the

near future per new federal bill.

Funding challenge. Single lane direct connectors causing

traffic congestion during peak hours.

Important link in region's transportation system To replace an existing interchange while maintaining traffic.

Critical link in regional transportation system Very high ADT with Poor slab condition.

Critical to reginal connectivitySignicant Congestion. Bridge Facility has Significant Fatique

Deterioration.

entering and exiting the Texas Medical Center in

Houston.





North/South corridor for the Austin Region and

provides connections to the US 183, US 290 and

IH 35 corridors that are significant to State

travel.

The segment north of the Austin CBD is in a section that has

severely limited right-of-way hemed-in by long established

neigborhoods and a major rail freight corridor. The corridor

serves as a major commuter route that experiences severe

congestion.

The NW side of San Antonio has experienced

significant growth in recent years. Loop 1604 is

the primary connection for numerous large

subdivisions and businesses to access IH 10.

Traffic volume exceeds capacity of roadway.

Critical to rural connectivity Narrow roadwayLoop 360 is the only western bypass loop in the

Austin area. This road is partially grade

separated and experiences significant delays as

growth continues in the west.

This serves as a major commuter route that experiences severe

congestion.

Critical to regional mobilityCorridor built out. Significant Congestion. Buffer Separated

HOV lanes.Experience significant congestion. Lack

adequate mobility to support economic

development opportunities.

Two lane bridge over major highway is not adiquate for growth

of surrouding area

The Cotton Bridge is very important to the this

region because of its location on Interstate 10. It

is a major connection for residents/business to

IH-10. It is a long and busy 5-lane bridge with an

average daily traffic count of 82,940 vehicles.

This bridge was constructed in 1968 and was

widened in 2002 to allow another bridge toconnect to this structure.

Repair of this bridge will be a challenge due to existing traffic.

There isn't any frontage roads to redirect traffic to which will

cause major problems to the local business and residents.

Another challenge is the existence of the two railroad tracks

located beneath these structures. Close coordination will be

required with the Railroad company.

Critical to regional and statewide connectivity

Congestion due to lack of Capacity and obsolete interchanges.

From US 377 to SH 121 Current CDA

SH 121 to SH 183 is in MDP

US 281 is the primary radial corridor connecting

downtown San Antonio to the north side of San

Antonio which is experiencing significant

growth.

Traffic volume exceeds capacity of roadway. This section of

US 281 is inadequate to handle the existing traffic and

projected growth along this corridor will make congestion

significantly worse.
