Land is being cleared for FM 1960 to be widened from Business FM 1960 in Humble to just west of the San Jacinto Bridge in Atascocita. The area will be split into two projects connecting near Twigsworth Lane.
The Texas Department of Transportation projects will expand the road and improve safety along the corridor by widening its current four-lane road with a continuous center turn lane to a six-lane road divided by a grass median with 5-foot pedestrian sidewalks.
TxDOT Public Information Officer Danny Perez said the department acquired all 
necessary right of way along the road, and contractors are actively removing signs and buildings from the right of way. Contractors began clearing land in January for the $70.2 million eastern expansion, which will also create an overpass over the West Lake Houston Parkway intersection.
Although contractors have not started clearing the land for the $63 million western project due to ongoing utility adjustments, Perez said construction is expected to begin this summer. The western project is expected to finish in 2023, while the eastern project is expected to wrap up in 2024.
