Grand Parkway toll road plan extends through Houston suburbs
The Grand Parkway or super loop is pitched as a four lane unimpeded belt from I-10 to Highway 146, with tolling under consideration for this 177 mile route. Seven of ten segments are contracted while Sugar Land’s 19 mile stretch from Highway 59 to I-10 is built. The I-2 segment would run from I-10 past the HS&P Canal to Spur 55 now Highway 99. Completion of the $48 million I-10 to FM 1405 section is targeted for June 2006. Mont Belvieu rejects north extension near Eagle Pointe schools.
