• Abstract:
  Current and projected growth in the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio (Figure 1) are expected to result in traffic volumes that may cause severe congestion on existing transportation facilities in this corridor. As a result, the Texas State Department of Highway~ and Public Transportation (SDHPT) is undertaking an analysis of alternative corridor improvements. Included in this analysis is a feasibility study of an alternative highway route between Austin and San Antonio. The possibility of an alternate route to the east of I-35 (Figure 1) has received considerable attention in recent months. However, other alternatives, such as an I-35 east by-pass around Austin and an alternate route to the west of I-35, have not been eliminated from consideration at this date. This research project is intended to assist the SDHPT in assessing the need for an alternate route in the Austin-San Antonio corridor. The results of the study are presented in a two-volume report. The results of an origin-destination (O-D) survey conducted to identify current travel patterns in the study corridor, and the use of that survey data to estimate the diversion potentials of a proposed alternate route (Figure 1) are summarized in Volume I (Summary Report) of the research report. This report (Volume II) describes the study design and data analysis phases of the study in detail and presents expanded listings of the data summarized in Volume I.
