A contraflow lane is in operation on I-45N in Houston during both the morning and afternoon peaks. Operation of that lane requires taking a lane away from the off-peak direction mixed-flow traffic to serve as the contraflow lane. It was recognized at the outset that, at some time, off-peak direction traffic would become sufficiently large to cause continued operation of the contraflow lane to be undesirable; contraflow was never intended as the long-range improvement for the corridor. This report evaluates demand/capacity relationships in the off-peak direction of flow and estimates the year in which it would be desirable to terminate contraflow operation. Alternative actions that could be taken at that time are also evaluated.
