Corridor Management and Development Plan
completed |
The departments of transportation from four
states - Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and New Mexico - partnered to
develop a Corridor Development and Management Plan (CDMP) for a
1,400-mile roadway from the Texas/Mexico border at Laredo through
western Texas and parts of Oklahoma and New Mexico to Denver, Colorado.
The CDMP includes: a possible 20-year plan, including costs, for
development of a corridor, consisting of minimum of four lanes with ITS
improvements; a maintenance and operation plan with costs; a possible
finance plan; and an analysis of the benefits of development. Among
other components of the plan are an analysis of environmental issues and
an assessment of risks that could impede corridor development. The route
is one of 45 "High Priority Corridors" on the National Highway System
designated by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century
(TEA21). |
