Interstate 10 West Update Center

THE NEW KATY FREEWAY MANAGED LANES offer an innovative approach to maximizing roadway capacity and more effectively managing congestion.

Two multi-purpose lanes in each direction replace the single, reversible HOV lane to serve METRO buses and HOV riders, as well as drivers willing to pay a toll.

These lanes will open for initial operations on October 29, 2008 as part of the newly reconstructed Katy Freeway and will be available to transit, HOV and motorcycles.  The tollway for individual vehicles should be fully operational in Spring 2009.
