1. The Grand Parkway segments F-1, F-2 and G

Construction of the Grand Parkway is requiring several lane closures and traffic diversions on a number of roads near the project. Three segments—F-1, F-2 and G—of the project are under simultaneous construction and will total 37 miles of Houston’s third outer loop. The segments stretch from Hwy. 290 to Hwy. 59 and feature major overpasses and interchanges at Hwy. 290 in Cypress, Hwy. 249 in Tomball and I-45.

The Grand Parkway Segment F-2 lane closures
Ongoing work requires a total northbound and southbound closure of Boudreaux Road from FM 2920 to Miramar Lake Boulevard until 4 p.m. Dec. 7. For more up-to-date information on lane closures throughout the month, visit www.grandparkway99.com.
