At its Aug. 13 meeting, the Harris County Commissioners Court approved the bid for Webber, LLC to man the construction of the first segment of Phase I of the Hwy. 249 tollway. The $27.5 million contract will cover the construction of the 3.79-mile stretch from south of Spring Cypress Road to south of Willow Creek.
