Corridor Feasibility Studies

For this Corridor Feasibility study, ETSI collected traffic counts, established current traffic patterns on the at-grade intersection and made projections for future traffic patterns with and without a grade separated interchange. It was concluded that the grade separated interchange would eliminate conflicts of through traffic on SH 365 from Spur 93 and from the Railroad line. The study also included calculation of delays, travel time savings and accident reduction savings at the Railroad crossing. Also estimated trip generation rates for the proposed developments in the area and analyzed accident records for the past 4 years. Used SYNCHRO for capacity and level of service analyses and test alternative interchange configurations. A benefit/cost analysis was conducted to determine the feasibility.
