• Abstract:
  This report describes the analysis of several intercity corridors for the selection of one candidate for study for the feasibility of providing an exclusive truck facility (ETF). Several alternative designs for ETF are considered for the I-10 freeway corridor from Houston to Beaumont. The existing condition of traffic, geometric designs, land development, truck services and pavement structures were inventoried, and the impacts of ETF options were determined.
