Twinsanity02 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Any news about segment C? Seems to be held up by some dispute between a developer and some organzation, both trying to get the parkway through their property. I thought the developer won (no great surprise there), so what is the hold up? Be a bit strange to have segment B, no C, and then segments D through I.

Pleak Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) I was trying to reference Twinsanity's post from 10/24/22 but blew it. He was talking about the dispute between the George Foundation and the Signorelli Company. Here is a link to the article about the dispute. I don't have online access to the Chronicle but somebody here probably does. Grand Parkway intersection fight Edited April 18 by Pleak Messed up quoting a post.

hindesky Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 "Texas Department of Transportation officials said work on segments of Interstate 45 in League City to south of Alvin is planned for late 2026 or early 2027, entirely funded by borrowing against future toll revenues." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/grand-parkway-alvin-league-city-txdot-18267055.php 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 And they are busy upgrading TX-146, so once segment A is built 146 will magically become 99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickn Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 1 hour ago, cspwal said: And they are busy upgrading TX-146, so once segment A is built 146 will magically become 99 That doesn't sound correct. 99 has a different owner and different standards (seeking to bar participating jurisdictions from building nearby feeder roads or alternative routes) than state highway 146, doesn't it?

cspwal Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 99 between 10 and west park is just a state highway. If they use 146 to complete the loop, they would just re sign it as 99 and not charge tolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 "Getting the Grand Parkway built between League City and Alvin will come with more than 200 additional acres of storm detention – among a handful of changes highway officials will detail this week in public meetings on the long-planned tollway segment. Set for construction in 2027, at a cost of nearly $1 billion, plans for the tollway between Interstate 45 and FM 2403 are changing slightly from the proposal the Texas Department of Transportation approved in November 2016. Federal law requires the state to take the changes to the public for review, as they include needing additional land." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/grand-parkway-alvin-i45-growth-txdot-18418138.php https://www.txdot.gov/projects/hearings-meetings/houston/sh99-sh35-101023.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
