AECOM selected as Lead Designer for North Houston Highway Improvement Project
AECOM has been selected by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to provide design services for Segment 3C-4 of the North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP). This project aims to redesign I-45N between downtown Houston and the North Sam Houston Tollway, focusing on lane expansions, traffic congestion alleviation, commuter safety enhancement, and flood resiliency improvement.
AECOM's scope includes designing four express lanes, realigning I-45's six main lanes, and widening from one to four managed lanes from west of Houston Avenue to west of White Oak Bayou. The project also involves drainage system improvements to ensure roadway functionality during extreme weather events.
The NHHIP is expected to expand multi-modal transit options by adding more high-occupancy vehicle lanes, bike lanes, and pedestrian trail paths. It also aims to enhance regional freight mobility, supporting Houston's growth as local ports continue to expand.
AECOM è stata selezionata dal Dipartimento dei Trasporti del Texas (TxDOT) per fornire servizi di progettazione per il Segmento 3C-4 del Progetto di Miglioramento dell'Autostrada Nord di Houston (NHHIP). Questo progetto mira a ridisegnare l'I-45N tra il centro di Houston e il North Sam Houston Tollway, concentrandosi su espansioni delle corsie, alleviamento della congestione del traffico, miglioramento della sicurezza dei pendolari e resilienza alle inondazioni.
Il campo di applicazione di AECOM include la progettazione di quattro corsie esprersso, il riallineamento delle sei corsie principali dell'I-45 e l'ampliamento da una a quattro corsie gestite da ovest di Houston Avenue a ovest di White Oak Bayou. Il progetto prevede anche miglioramenti del sistema di drenaggio per garantire la funzionalità della strada durante eventi meteorologici estremi.
Si prevede che il NHHIP espanda le opzioni di transito multimodali aggiungendo più corsie per veicoli ad alta occupazione, piste ciclabili e sentieri pedonali. Mira anche a migliorare la mobilità regionale delle merci, supportando la crescita di Houston mentre i porti locali continuano ad espandersi.

El alcance de AECOM incluye el diseño de cuatro carriles exprés, el realineamiento de las seis carriles principales de la I-45 y la ampliación de uno a cuatro carriles gestionados desde al oeste de Houston Avenue hasta al oeste de White Oak Bayou. El proyecto también implica mejoras en el sistema de drenaje para garantizar la funcionalidad de la carretera durante eventos climáticos extremos.
Se espera que el NHHIP expanda las opciones de tránsito multimodal al agregar más carriles para vehículos de alta ocupación, carriles para bicicletas y senderos peatonales. También busca mejorar la movilidad regional de carga, apoyando el crecimiento de Houston a medida que los puertos locales continúan expandiéndose.
AECOM은 텍사스 교통부(TxDOT)에 의해 북휴스턴 고속도로 개선 프로젝트(NHHIP)의 세그먼트 3C-4에 대한 설계 서비스를 제공하도록 선정되었습니다. 이 프로젝트는 휴스턴 시내와 North Sam Houston Tollway 사이의 I-45N을 재설계하는 것을 목표로 하며, 차선 확장, 교통 체증 완화, 통근자 안전 향상 및 홍수 복원력 개선에 초점을 맞추고 있습니다.
AECOM의 범위에는 네 개의 익스프레스 차선 설계, I-45의 여섯 개 주요 차선 재정렬, 그리고 하나에서 네 개의 관리 차선으로 넓히는 것이 포함됩니다. 이 프로젝트는 또한 극심한 기후 현상 동안 도로 기능성을 보장하기 위한 배수 시스템 개선을 포함합니다.
NHHIP는 다양한 교통수단 옵션을 확장하여 고용량 차량 차선, 자전거 도로 및 보행자 산책로 추가를 통해 이루어질 것으로 기대됩니다. 또한 지역 화물 이동성 개선을 목표로 하여 지역 항구의 확장이 지속됨에 따라 휴스턴의 성장을 지원합니다.
AECOM a été sélectionné par le Département des Transports du Texas (TxDOT) pour fournir des services de conception pour le Segment 3C-4 du Projet d'Amélioration de l'Autoroute Nord de Houston (NHHIP). Ce projet vise à redessiner l'I-45N entre le centre-ville de Houston et le North Sam Houston Tollway, en se concentrant sur l'expansion des voies, l'allègement de la congestion routière, l'amélioration de la sécurité des navetteurs et l'amélioration de la résilience face aux inondations.
