General Description:
The group shall prepare a report and oral presentation on providing a connection to Airway Boulevard from the intersection of Airway Boulevard and Interstate Highway 10 to Market Avenue and Industrial Avenue. Different options were analyzed to obtain the best roadway alignment. Information used in the study included a geotechnical engineering report, existing topographic survey, site visit and City of El Paso Design Standards. The report considered the following analysis for the roadway improvements: hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, traffic analysis, and roadway geometric alignment. The design of the road must be presented considering heavy traffic and shall provide specification needed for the road expansion.
Objective:
The objective of the project is to design a roadway that will benefit the area adjacent to the commercial/industrial development; the actual streets are reduced in size and the primary type of traffic that passes through the area is heavy traffic (commercial trucks), the construction of the roadway will relieve traffic and facilitate heavy traffic to enter the zone, helping businesses in the area adjacent to the roadway to have an easy access.
Proposed Route:
The proposed route is an extension from Airway Boulevard, a two-way 4-lane road that will diverge into two 2-lane one way road connecting to Market Avenue and In
