FM 1960
FM 1960 is currently a six-lane roadway with a continuous left turn lane. The
road crosses the railroad at-grade in northwestern Harris County and is adjacent
to Willowbrook Mall. Approximately 87,800 vehicles cross the BNSF Railroad at
this location daily. The identified six-lane overpass would separate vehicular
traffic from the BNSF Houston Subdivision.
Access to adjacent properties will be maintained via access roads alongside
the main roadway along with at-grade u-turns located beneath the overpass on the
east side of the railroad. On the west side of the railroad, the access roads
will connect to the local roadway network that serves Willowbrook Mall.
Cost
Right-of-way acquisition of the adjacent commercial and industrial properties
accounts for approximately 14 percent of the estimated cost to implement this
grade separation.
The grade separation of FM 1960 is estimated to cost $11,000,000. The
estimated public benefit calculated for the grade separation of FM 1960 is
$870,000, which is approximately 8 percent of the estimated cost of
construction. Back to top
