Travel Impacts of the US-59 Southwest Freeway Reconstruction Project in Houston
The report documents the results and findings of a five-year study to monitor the travel impacts of the US-59 Southwest Freeway reconstruction project in Houston, Texas. The monitoring effort included screen line traffic volume counts and travel time runs on the freeway, frontage roads, and alternative routes. The results indicate drops in traffic volumes on the freeway primarily during the first phase of reconstruction and on the westbound frontage road throughout all three phases of reconstruction. Only minor volume variations were observed on other routes in the corridor. Travel times and average speeds in the corridor did not change significantly during reconstruction. The impacts of the Southwest Freeway project were generally consistent with the impacts observed previously at other major urban freeway reconstruction projects in Texas.
