Peoples Road

EHRA conducted a traffic engineering study to identify the impacts of a proposed master development located near the intersection of FM 1488 and Peoples Road in the City of Conroe.

Cane Island Parkway

The new roadway design comprises of one-half major thoroughfare, conventional drainage, a 600-ft long bridge over Willow Fork Bayou, Retaining walls and intersection improvements at FM 1463 (including traffic signals and illumination).

League Line

EHRA performed preliminary drainage area delineations for nine creek crossings and calculated approximate 100-year flows for each culvert crossing. Culvert structures were sized for each of the six crossings, ranging from 48” round pipe culverts up to dual 5’x5’ box culverts.

West Road Phase 3 Landscape

EHRA worked with the District to create a comprehensive Parks Master Plan, which included recommendations for the development of over two miles of hike/bike trails adjacent to local streets, and within flood control and utility pipeline easements. The District began implementation of the Plan by prioritizing the beautification of West Road, a major arterial street that runs through the District.

Houston Community College Campus Expansion

EHRA was selected as one of two firms to provide professional surveying services under contract to Houston Community College System.

Bullet Train

Admin

Let’s face it, no one likes sitting in traffic. If there’s a faster way to get to your destination, then that’s probably the way you’re going to travel. Well, good news, because Dallas-to-Houston Texas Bullet Train construction could start as early as 2019.

It takes around three and a half to four hours to drive from Houston to Dallas. However, the high-speed train will complete its route in 90 minutes traveling at speeds of 205 MPH. Plans are to pass between Northwest Houston and South of downtown Dallas with stops in Brazos Valley, better known as the home of the Aggies. This route has the least risk to the environment. The next steps are to finalize the train design and costs, obtain permits, and funding.

Texas Central Partners predict 5 million riders per year by 2025 and 10 million riders by 2050. With both Houston and Dallas growing exponentially, transportation infrastructure cannot accomodate the number of drivers on the roadways. Fast travel options are becoming more and more popular as a result of high travel times.
