All schematics are preliminary except as noted.
The project will be awarded in June 2001. This project is urgently needed to relieve congestion on this section of the freeway, which currently has 4 main lanes and 4 feeder lanes. According to the TxDOT unified transportation plan, this is the northernmost section that will be upgraded to 8 main lanes. The map below summarizes the projects in progress on IH-45 north. This shows the 8 lane freeway to the south transitioning to the 4 lane freeway to the north.
