Abstract:
In February of 1996 members of the US 190 Coalition appeared before the Texas Transportation Commission (commission) seeking assistance in resolving numerous transportation needs along the corridor from Bryan to the Louisiana state line. The Commission directed the Transportation Planning and Programming Division to conduct a feasibility study to address the coalitions concerns. Rust Lichliter/Jameson was selected to investigate the feasibility of upgrading US 190 and SH 30 to a 4-lane divided highway, as well as the potential to redesignate SH 30 between Bryan and Huntsville as US 190. If a 4-lane facility was found not feasible, then a project prioritization list would be developed to bring the roadways up to a minimum 2-lane design standard.
