Bill > HB3720

This bill directs the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to address traffic congestion in Harris County by developing and constructing two specific bridge projects that will separate railroad tracks from roadways. Specifically, TxDOT is required to create a comprehensive plan, conduct an environmental review, and design two new bridges: one at the intersection of Little York Road and Hirsch Road, and another at the intersection of Tidwell Road and Hirsch Road. These "grade separation" bridges are intended to eliminate potential traffic delays and safety issues caused by train and vehicle interactions at these intersections. The bill specifies that these projects will be fully implemented, with the provisions of the bill taking effect on September 1, 2025. By mandating these infrastructure improvements, the legislation aims to improve transportation efficiency and reduce congestion in the Harris County area.
