Cualquiera que haya visitado la sede de SpaceX, la nueva ciudad de Starbase o la playa de Boca Chica sabe que solo hay una carretera estrecha y llena de baches para entrar y salir, pero un tramo de 14 millas de esa carretera<\/a> est\u00e1 a punto de ser renovado.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

En los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os, el Departamento de Transporte de Texas tiene previsto ampliar la estrecha carretera estatal 4, de dos carriles, tambi\u00e9n conocida como Boca Chica Boulevard, para convertirla en una autopista de cuatro carriles con medianas separadoras, con el fin de aliviar la congesti\u00f3n del tr\u00e1fico.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El proyecto ampliar\u00eda la carretera desde la Farm-to-Market Road 1419 hasta el LBJ Boulevard de la ciudad de Starbase y a\u00f1adir\u00eda un carril bici de 3,75 millas de longitud desde Quicksilver Avenue hasta el LBJ Boulevard, en direcci\u00f3n a la playa de Boca Chica.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u00fan no se ha dado a conocer el coste del proyecto, y el Estado no necesita adquirir m\u00e1s derechos de paso. Se prev\u00e9 que las licitaciones para las obras se publiquen antes del verano de 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El TxDOT prev\u00e9 que el proyecto reduzca la congesti\u00f3n del tr\u00e1fico y la frecuencia de los accidentes, y mejore la seguridad en general.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aumento considerable del tr\u00e1fico<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lo que antes era una ruta tranquila hacia la playa ha visto c\u00f3mo el tr\u00e1fico se multiplicaba por m\u00e1s de diez en tan solo unos a\u00f1os, y todo apunta a que volver\u00e1 a casi triplicarse en las pr\u00f3ximas d\u00e9cadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 2019, circulaban por esa carretera unos 645 veh\u00edculos al d\u00eda. En 2023, esa cifra se hab\u00eda multiplicado por m\u00e1s de siete, hasta alcanzar los 4.683 veh\u00edculos diarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El crecimiento no se ha ralentizado.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Diagrama

Cortes\u00eda de | TxDOT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Solo entre 2023 y 2024, el tr\u00e1fico diario aument\u00f3 aproximadamente un 44 %, pasando de 4.683 a 6.743 veh\u00edculos. Esto supone un incremento de unos 2.060 veh\u00edculos al d\u00eda en esa \u00fanica carretera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En general, el tr\u00e1fico en el bulevar Boca Chica en 2024 fue m\u00e1s de diez veces superior al de 2019, y el TxDOT prev\u00e9 que esta tendencia contin\u00fae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se prev\u00e9 que, para 2050, circulen por esta carretera unos 19 700 veh\u00edculos al d\u00eda, lo que supone casi el triple del tr\u00e1fico actual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pesar de este crecimiento, los datos del TxDOT revelan que se ha producido un accidente mortal y tres accidentes graves entre 2019 y 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retos en materia de conservaci\u00f3n y soluciones propuestas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A finales de noviembre, el TxDOT present\u00f3 una evaluaci\u00f3n de impacto ambiental al Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ej\u00e9rcito de los Estados Unidos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La carretera est\u00e1 rodeada por el Refugio de Vida Silvestre del Valle del Bajo R\u00edo Grande, y a menudo se inunda, tiene poco arc\u00e9n y est\u00e1 llena de baches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

El plan de ampliaci\u00f3n de la autopista supondr\u00eda la desaparici\u00f3n de 24 acres de humedales emergentes y 6,4 acres de marismas, ambos compuestos principalmente por lodo y arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El TxDOT prev\u00e9 compensar los impactos medioambientales recurriendo al \u00abBanco de Mitigaci\u00f3n de Rockhands\u00bb propuesto, que consiste en terrenos reservados para compensar los humedales o h\u00e1bitats que resulten da\u00f1ados por los proyectos de construcci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando un proyecto \u2014como la ampliaci\u00f3n de una carretera\u2014 destruye humedales, la normativa federal exige que se compense esa p\u00e9rdida. En lugar de restaurar los humedales en el propio emplazamiento de la obra, los organismos pueden realizar aportaciones a un banco de mitigaci\u00f3n. Ese dinero se utiliza para proteger o restaurar humedales en otro lugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El banco de mitigaci\u00f3n Rockhands, que se ubicar\u00eda al norte de la ciudad de Starbase, tiene la intenci\u00f3n de hacerlo.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Su creaci\u00f3n se estaba estudiando este oto\u00f1o, cuando la ciudad de Starbase pretend\u00eda anexionar 1.200 acres adicionales a los l\u00edmites municipales. Esa anexi\u00f3n qued\u00f3 aplazada para un an\u00e1lisis m\u00e1s detallado, pero la idea es recurrir a ese mismo fondo cuando SpaceX ampl\u00ede su plataforma de lanzamiento en las dunas de la playa de Boca Chica.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una comunidad en crecimiento<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La carretera m\u00e1s ancha dar\u00eda servicio a la ciudad de Starbase, que ha aprobado varios proyectos comerciales a lo largo del bulevar Boca Chica, como Rio West, un complejo de uso mixto con viviendas, comercios y restaurantes a orillas del r\u00edo Grande.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algunos dirigentes del condado de Cameron est\u00e1n pidiendo al TxDOT que ampl\u00ede las obras de renovaci\u00f3n a\u00fan m\u00e1s hacia el oeste<\/a> y que a\u00f1ada un carril de giro para reducir el tr\u00e1fico de los trabajadores que se desplazan diariamente a Brownsville y de los empleados de SpaceX.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLas cuatro v\u00edas propuestas para la carretera estatal 4 deber\u00edan prolongarse hasta la carretera comarcal 511, ya que se trata de un punto de transici\u00f3n natural y es por donde se desplazan los empleados de SpaceX y por donde llegan otras personas\u00bb, afirm\u00f3 Pete Sep\u00falveda Jr., administrador del condado de Cameron y director de la Autoridad Regional de Movilidad del condado de Cameron.<\/p>\n\n\n

La carretera Farm-to-Market 511 conecta el bulevar Boca Chica con el puerto de Brownsville.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00abLa hora punta de la ma\u00f1ana en este punto se caracteriza por un intenso tr\u00e1fico de giros a la izquierda en direcci\u00f3n sur por la FM511 y un intenso tr\u00e1fico en direcci\u00f3n este por el bulevar Boca Chica\u00bb, explic\u00f3 Sep\u00falveda. \u00abPor la tarde, el patr\u00f3n es el contrario\u00bb.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En respuesta a ello, el TxDOT ha explicado que est\u00e1 estudiando por separado la posibilidad de remodelar el bulevar Boca Chica entre la carretera Farm-to-Market 511 y la carretera Farm-to-Market 1419, tambi\u00e9n conocidas como North Oklahoma Avenue y North Indiana Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
