Construction on the project to convert a section of Independence Boulevard from a two-lane concrete road to a four-lane concrete curb-and-gutter road wrapped up in August, according to Missouri City officials.

The roadway is now open, and city officials said motorists will experience an easier commute and fewer traffic delays in the area.



Work on the stretch of road—dubbed Independence Boulevard Segment 2—began in November 2019 and cost $2.5 million. The project was financed by the city of Missouri City and Fort Bend County.
