Summary
The Beaumont interchange is congested nearly all day and is squeezed between the SR-60/I-10 merge, the Pennsylvania Avenue interchange, frontage roads, and a railroad. The PID phase will study configurations, but construction is likely 4-5 years away and depends on the city securing funding for later phases.
