re: Looks like after the 5 year I-10 widening project is done, traffic times will improve 2%

Airline Highway should be a straight-shot, no stoplight bypass from 190 to i12 that bypasses the city. A majority of our traffic comes from big trucks, and a majority of the big trucks go through our city only to continue on to i-12.

18 wheelers travelling from west on i-10 can take one of a number of routes from i10 to 190, use the old bridge, hit Airline Highway, and be at i-12 in 20 minutes.

This will never happen though, because it would be too cost-prohibitive. The quality of life increase would be monumental though.
