Abstract:
This report documents the procedures and results associated with the assessment of U.S. 83 Expressway and cross-street interchange operations between Conway Avenue and Sugar Road in Mission, McAllen, and Pharr, Texas. This area is faced with increasing congestion and is characterized by a mixture of freeway ramp and cross-street interchange designs.|The results of this analysis support the need for widening U.S. 83 from four lanes to six lanes and indicate that converting to uniform "x-ramp" configurations will produce improved long-term freeway mainlane operations. Construction of a new interchange at McColl Road and U.S. 83, as well as improvements to several additional cross-street interchanges, are also recommended.
