Construction has begun on the $43.3 million Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road expansion project, which will include an extension toward Sienna Ranch Road and an overpass over Sienna Parkway.

According to the Fort Bend County Toll Road Association, the project is expected to be completed in summer 2023.

“Preliminary engineering to extend the project from Sienna Ranch Road to the levee is currently underway,” FBCTRA Deputy Operating Officer Lisa Castaneda said in an email to Community Impact.

Once completed, engineering services for the final design will be negotiated. The alignment and construction estimate will be identified through the preliminary engineering phase, the spokeswoman said.

In addition, preliminary engineering design services to extend the project across the Brazos River and then to Hwy. 36 are under negotiations. No cost estimate is available for that project yet, and the alignment and construction estimate will be identified through the preliminary engineering phase.
