IH-35/DELMAR BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE STUDY, LAREDO, TEXAS. FINAL REPORT

This research report evaluates the feasibility of implementing various interchange and intersection design alternatives at the IH-35/DelMar Boulevard interchange in Laredo, Texas. Alternatives considered the operation of the IH-35 frontage roads, the ramping configuration surrounding the interchange, access and egress to IH-35 from FM 1472, the interchange configuration and operation, FM 1472 alignment, and possible alternative connections. The design alternatives may be categorized by designs that either: 1) improve the operation and capacity of the interchange, 2) reduce vehicular demand at the interchange, or 3) provide an alternative route. Design alternative are evaluated on the basis of benefit/cost and vehicle-hours of delay.
