Estimated Economic Impact of Widening State Highway 21 in Caldwell, Texas

摘要

The upgrading and widening of highways across the state, especially in urban areas, is causing the directly affected businesses and property owners to inquire about the possible negative economic impacts of such construction. This report documents the during- and after-construction effects of the widening of a 3.75 kilometer (2.33 mile) section of State Highway (S.H.) 21, in Caldwell, Texas. A continuous two-way left-turn lane with curbs and gutters was added between 1991 and 1993.
