Zooming out
The closure is part of a $108.36 million project to expand FM 1463 between Katy and Fulshear by widening almost seven miles of the two-lane road, including some increasing some areas up to six lanes, TxDOT Public Information Officer Danny Perez previously said.
Perez said FM 1463 project highlights include:
- Widening the road from two to six lanes between I-10 and Spring Green Boulevard
- Widening the road to four lanes from Spring Green Boulevard to FM 1093
- Adding a raised median
- Constructing sidewalks north and southbound along the project length
