The project, which sits near Manvel and stretches down near Rosharon, opened the southbound lanes May 10 with the northbound side set to open up late June, TxDOT spokesperson Danny Perez said in a May 22 email.
Work originally began on the project in fall 2022 and included building multiple bridges from Rodeo Palms Parkway to County Road 60 in Brazoria County, according to documents from TxDOT.
Upon completion of that project, priority will shift to finishing the southbound frontage road from Rodeo Palms to Hwy. 6. If the pending change order is signed, work is expected to last 3 months, Perez said.
“We are opening as we can,” Perez said May 23.
Also of note
The project at hand constitutes four separate ones all being carried out by TxDOT, Perez said. The work also includes the widening of Meridiana Parkway and County Road 56.
Those four projects are all being built out by two contractors—James Construction and Granite Construction Company—for a total of $197 million, Perez said. The projects are expected to be wrapped up during fiscal year 2025-26.
