The proposed route aims to provide a road for large trucks to travel from Port Freeport to reach major highways and distribute freight in North Texas, Fort Bend County Commissioner Andy Meyers previously said.
The details
The public meetings will present eight alternatives for the project segment from FM 1994 south of Needville to I-10 West in Katy, Kristina Hadley, public information officer for the Texas Department of Transportation, said in an email.
Public meeting dates include:
- Aug. 26, 5-7 p.m. at Leonard Merrell Center
- Aug. 28, 5-7 p.m. at Fort Bend County Epicenter
The meeting aims to narrow down and refine the alternatives with community feedback, she said.
Looking ahead
A future study is scheduled for the north side of the project from I-10 to Hwy. 6 in late 2026, according to TxDOT’s website.
A final route for the south portion is expected by summer 2028, followed by the north section in late 2029.
