6.4.6. Connectivity Gaps Roadway The Roadway Gap Analysis revealed significant deficiencies in both physical connectivity and operational performance across Fort Worth’s network. Spatial gaps are most pronounced in rapidly growing areas such as the Alliance corridor in north Fort Worth, where missing arterial and collector links limit access to employment centers and emerging residential developments.
East Fort Worth corridors near Trinity Boulevard and southern growth areas also exhibit fragmented connectivity, creating barriers to efficient travel. Operationally, congestion is projected to worsen dramatically by 2050, with several corridors exceeding volume-to- capacity thresholds (V/C > 1). Key arterials such as Blue Mound Road, Avondale Haslet Road, and Camp Bowie Boulevard are expected to experience severe LOS degradation, underscoring the need for targeted capacity improvements. While the unconstrained needs network identifies numerous opportunities for new links and lane additions, real-world constraints such as ROW limitations and environmental impacts will require strategic prioritization.
Key Takeaways ■ Missing arterial and collector links in north Fort Worth (Alliance), east corridors, and southern growth areas. ■ Projected congestion hotspots along major arterials with V/C > 1 by 2050. ■ Worsening LOS on corridors such as Blue Mound Rd, Avondale Haslet Rd, and Camp Bowie Blvd. ■ ROW constraints will limit widening options, requiring strategic prioritization.
