Scope Of Work
TxDOT went outside the box for its US 67 Corridor Master Plan, utilizing novel outreach tactics and mixed reality technology to gain the public’s endorsement.
US 67 is a major highway and international freight route that starts in rural southwest Texas at the border with Mexico. A 142-mile segment of the road, beginning at the Port of Entry and running north, has experienced increasing traffic in recent years due to growth in population, trade, tourism and oilfield development. As traffic counts have climbed, so too have crashes, causing motorists and residents to raise concerns over safety, access and mobility.
The Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) El Paso District hired CDM Smith to develop a corridor master plan for US 67 to address the safety concerns and potential increases in freight traffic expected along the corridor. The intention for this study was to outline short-, mid- and long-term potential projects to resolve the safety issues and improve travel for the communities along the roadway. Further, the study aligned with TxDOT’s goal to end all fatalities on Texas roadways by 2050.
