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 project is identified as a priority in the CAMPO 2035 regional transportation plan.

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.

Significant Congestion. Buffer Separated HOV lanes. Two lane bridge over major highway is not adiquate for growth of surrouding area

Critical to regional mobility Experience significant congestion. Lack adequate mobility to support economic development opportunities. 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 to connect 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.

Improvement Needed Reconstruct and Widen Freeway and Add 2 to 4 Managed Lanes Widening of this segment of IH 45 needed to improve mobility in this corridor. Expand existing 6- to 8-lane facility to 14 lanes (6 Managed/Toll Lanes) from US 281/IH 37 to Schertz Parkway. The corridor is currently undergoing a Planning and environmental study. No funding is currently identified. The district is currently developing plans for two projects to address interchange bottlenecks and provide short-term congestion relief on IH 35 between Loop 410 North and Loop 410 South. Reconstruct roadway to add managed HOV lanes Expansion to a 10-lane expressway up to Perrin Bietel is now complete. The IH 35 corridor improvements listed in the MTP will include improvements to the 35/410 interchange which will address the existing bottleneck from EB 410 to IH 35.

Reconstruction of the segment from US 183 to the Austin CBD to add 1-lane managed lane in each direction at a cost of $200.0 million is set to begin in 2013. An environmental study to extend the managed lanes from the Austin CBD south to US 290 will begin in 2013. The estimated cost to extend the managed lanes to Slaughter Lane is $290 million. Long-range plan includes expanding Loop 1604 from 4-lane divided to 6/8-lane expressway to include both toll and non-toll elements.

The City of Tyler has recently opened Grande Boulevard, connecting SH 110 and SH 155. In addition, TxDOT has recently opened Segment 5 of Toll 49 which now connects SH 110 and SH 155. The section of Toll 49 extending west from SH 155 to IH 20 will be open next Spring. Both of these roadways will provide alternate routes for this section of LP 323 and should assist with alleviating congestion. In addition, the expansion of Toll 49 east of SH 110 and the widening of Spur 248 will also assist with alleviating congestion through this corridor. Planning work on both of these projects is expected to begin very soon.
