Home » Fort Cavazos Stadium and Sports Complex Traffic Study

Kenall conducted a comprehensive traffic study to improve public access to the Fort Cavazos (former Fort Hood) Stadium and Sports Complex without breaching the secure perimeter of the post. The evaluation emphasized security measures at key access control points (ACPs) to develop a traffic management system capable of adapting to special event demands. The study involved extensive analysis of existing traffic conditions near Clear Creek ACP and Santa Fe ACP, addressing traffic impacts and congestion.

Clear Creek ACP was the focal point for determining traffic patterns and impacts, while operations at Santa Fe ACP were studied for alleviating congestion. Traffic counts were established through strategic placement of meters during various times, including before and after sporting events.
The findings were presented in an engineering report, which included a comprehensive traffic management plan, conceptual layouts for proposed alternatives, drainage analysis, fencing plans, and decision briefs with recommendations tailored to both ACPs. Conceptual layouts incorporated features such as a new parking lot for the stadium. Environmental data from the Clear Creek ACP area was analyzed to assess potential impacts of the proposed developments, while cost estimates for all alternatives were carefully prepared. Security and accessibility remained at the core of the proposed solutions. Work performed on this project was completed under the Kenall-Freese & Nichols 8a Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture (KFNI JV).
