<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />however, has made a commitment to fund a portion of the <br />intersection and rail crossing improvements in the local area <br />to help accelerate their construction and thereby minimize <br />traffic congestion. <br /> <br />At full build-out in the year 2025, approximately 5,620 trucks <br />will make more than 11,000 trips per day (transit into and <br />transit out of the complex equal one trip). Bayport trucks <br />will represent approximately 8% of the projected traffic on SH <br />146 at Port Road in 2025. <br /> <br />Rail service to the facility would not begin until <br />approximately 2012. Until that time, rail cargo would be <br />trucked to the nearby Barbours Cut inter-modal facility. <br />Initiation of rail service will significantly decrease the <br />volume of truck traffic associated with the development. <br /> <br />--30-- <br /> <br />CONTACT: The Port of Houston Authority, Houston <br />Felicia Griffin, 713/670-2644 <br />Cell: 713/594-5620 <br />fgriffin@poha.com <br />or <br />Argentina M.
