CR 403 Expansion City of Pearland 1/12/2015 4:53:34 PMProject Narrative
Running parallel with FM 518, CR 403 serves residential and commercial traffic, bringing motorists east and west between SH 288 and FM 865 (Cullen Parkway). With continued commercial development, increased school traffic, T-ramp access to the SH 288 Toll lanes, and the proposed Brazoria County/Pearland Park and Ride (an Intermodal Terminal on Smith Ranch Road), expansion of this roadway has been deemed necessary to provide a safer, less congested route that adheres to the City’s Major Thoroughfare Plan. The project is included in the 2035 Regional Transporation Plan, the City of Pearland Comprehensive Plan, and the Northern Brazoria County/Pearland Subregional Planning Initiative study by H-GAC. The proposed segment includes widening the roadway from 2-lanes of asphalt with roadside ditches into four-lanes, divided, concrete curb and gutter, including storm sewers, outfalls and detention, traffic signals and related items. Primary problems to be addressed are congestion, safety, and improved access to the SH 288 Toll lanes and Brazoria County/Pearland Park and Ride. The roadway will provide enhanced safety and access to Dawson High School and Challenger Elementary, and enhance access to SH 288, SH 288 Tollway, and Park and Ride in conformance with the City Thoroughfare Plan. Reconstruction of CR 403 will be from Cullen to Smith Ranch Road (CR 94) from a two lane asphalt open ditch roadway to a four lane concrete curb and gutter boulevard for a distance of two miles.
