HDR lands Arizona D.O.T. freight study on California, Mexico freight impacts

The consulting engineer firm HDR announced it has secured two studies from the Arizona Department of Transportation that will focus on how that state handles increased traffic, including freight impacts from ports in California and Mexico.

The California Border Multimodal Corridor Profile Study will delve into transportation planning needs within the 150-mile segment of the I-10 corridor between downtown Phoenix and the Arizona border, HDR said.

The I-10 has reportedly experienced large freight traffic increases from the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.

HDR said it is will also conduct a study that includes development of alternatives for highway and road improvements based on the forecast of increased traffic from the expansion of the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales, Ariz., one of the 10 busiest gateways along the U.S. -Mexico border.
