The 3.6-mile stretch would grow from a six- to eight-lane divided highway via a proposed restriping of the roadway, according to TxDOT. Restriping the project would add an additional lane in each direction to the inside of the existing highway, but the roadway's footprint would not be expanded. The new lanes would be added within the existing right-of-way, so no residential or commercial structures would be affected by the project.
Community members can request a public hearing on the proposed project to learn about the social, economic and environmental effects of the proposed design. However, written requests for a public hearing must be submitted on or before Friday, April 27. Project design plans and other information is available for review online and at the TxDOT Houston District Office, located at 7600 Washington Avenue, Houston.
