Construction is planned to begin soon on the widening of the Sam Houston Tollway between SH 225 and IH 10. The project will consist of the construction of a new bridge span across the Houston Ship Channel providing four toll lanes and full shoulders in each direction. The total cost of this project is expected to be $962 million.
The project will require extensive collaboration between public agencies to achieve successful development. Final design for the project is complete and two of the three construction projects are in the bidding phase.
