In January 2007, the Texas Transportation Commission approved Minute Order 110815 which authorized feasibility and route location studies to evaluate the potential strategic, economic, emergency and environmental benefits of transportation improvements along the US 190/IH 10 corridor.
Scope
The purpose of the study is to assess the feasibility, benefits and impacts of implementing highway improvements along the designated corridor as well as the adequacy of the rail system corridor from El Paso to Louisiana, generally following existing IH 10 from the New Mexico state line to US 190, then along US 190 to the Louisiana state line.
Consideration will be given to this corridor's connectivity between the military installations at Fort Hood and Fort Bliss and the deployment Ports of Beaumont and Corpus Christi, as well as its potential for providing congestion relief and economic development.
TxDOT staff will use the study to identify any existing and future transportation needs along the US 190/IH 10 corridor. It will be used to determine what improvements, if any, are needed through the year 2040, depending on available funding.
