Houston’s Grand Parkway Receives $605 Million Federal Loan For Further Expansion

On Behalf of | Feb 26, 2019 | Eminent Domain

Upon completion, the Grand Parkway will make a 180-mile loop around greater Houston. Portions of the massive toll road are currently open, but to finance the next phase of construction, the U.S. Department of Transportation has approved a $605 million loan to Grand Parkway Transportation Corporation, to build the road. Funds will be used for two eastern segments between U.S. 59 and I-10 – that’s the portion that goes into Liberty and Chambers Counties. The new lanes will add about 44 miles to the project and they’re expected to be finished in 2022 as construction is already underway. This investment will aid regional and local agencies to develop the infrastructure that best meets the needs of their communities, increase connectivity, alleviate congestion, and enhance safety. Currently, drivers can take the Grand Parkway from Sugar Land north to the Eastex Freeway. A portion of the toll road is also open near Baytown. Please Call: 281-341-5577 for more information.
