Expired Connecting Communities: The Impact of Toll Road & TxDOT Expansions in Fort Bend

The expansion of toll roads and highways in Fort Bend County fosters development, enhances connectivity, and drives economic growth. Planned investments such as Grand Parkway Segment C, Missouri City Park and Ride, widening of US-90 and IH-10, extension of Westpark Toll Road to Fulshear, extension of Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road eventually to SH-36, and continued evaluation and planning of Highways 36A, are synergistically bolstering the greater Houston region and enhancing our economic vitality. These expansions facilitate access to new land for housing and commercial developments, improve connections to existing employment centers, and enhances social integration by linking diverse communities, ultimately contributing to the county’s prosperity and quality of life. Connecting Communities will feature a discussion on the development these projects have enabled, and how they are coming together through financing, interlocal agreements, and operations and maintenance.
