Texas A&M Wellborn Underpass

Texas A&M University

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Wellborn Road Grade Separation project establishes a transportation link for cars, buses, pedestrians and cyclists between the East and West Campuses of TAMU at College Station. Currently the Union Pacific railroad track and Wellborn Road divide the Texas A&M University campus in two parts. To improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists and provide an inviting and safe environment, expressly designated passageways have been created beneath Wellborn Road and the railroad tracks. The new pathways are located to the East and West edges of Old Main Road.

These improvements begin just North of Jones St/W. Lamar St and terminate at the Olsen Blvd Plaza. The route integrates function and utility with landscaping and verdant tree-lined plazas. Olsen Blvd was previously bisected by a plaza and parking. This plaza has been shifted to the South and parking was relocated.
