TxDOT Taking Public Input on U.S. 90 Through West Texas

AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Transportation is currently seeking public input on the entire Texas corridor of U.S. 90, which stretches across Texas for more than 760 miles from I-10 in Van Horn to the Louisiana state line. The West Segment of the corridor study begins at I-10 in Van Horn and ends at the Terrell/Val Verde county line. 

The department launched an online survey on September 29 which will remain open to public input through November 3. Follow this link to the TxDOT Survey. 

TxDOT works to deliver a safe, reliable, and integrated transportation system. The United States Highway 90 (US 90) Corridor Study was initiated by the TxDOT - Transportation Planning and Programming Division as a long term, comprehensive analysis of the US 90 Corridor from a multimodal approach. The study includes the entire US 90 Corridor from the Interstate 10 (I-10) junction in Van Horn to the Louisiana state line, approximately 763 miles.

The US 90 corridor spans a series of unique roadway segments connecting the small towns and major metropolitan areas with the ports, international border crossings, airports, natural areas, and neighboring states by providing a pathway for continued economic prosperity. From functioning as a two-lane minor arterial to running concurrently with the 12-lane Katy Freeway (I-10), US 90 is a vital component of the TXDOT roadway network and freight network.

In keeping with population growth, increasing traffic, and the state’s booming economy, the US 90 Corridor Study will examine currently planned transportation projects, evaluate safety, and analyze reliability, connectivity, and mobility concerns. In addition, the study will identify multimodal needs and prioritize short-, medium-, and long-term improvements to promote movement of people and goods along the corridor.
