The Broadway Double Track Project (PTRA)

The Broadway Double Track Project near Manchester Street and the port of Houston benefits and completes double tracking on the PTRA railroad on the south side of the ship channel. The project will remove train delays of two to four hours a day and alleviate one of the largest rail bottleneck points on the PTRA railroad. The rail system includes a rail bridge over Broadway Street that provides rail switching services to shippers along the Houston Ship Channel.
