Background and Discussion:
The Sam Houston Tollway East / State Highway (SH) 225 Direct Connector Project will ultimately add eight
direct connectors to improve freeway access between the two roadways. Existing ramp access to/from the
freeway and adjacent, SH 225 frontage roads will be adjusted in accordance with the approved schematic.
Acquisition of additional right-of-way (ROW) is necessary to accommodate the adjustments. The ROW to be
acquired is a mix of industrial and commercial properties located on the SH225 frontage Road between
Northbound Sam Houston Tollway and Deerwood Glen Drive. The parcels are needed to support a bridge column and foundation, and high mast lighting that is included with the project.
Expected Impact:
This project aligns with Harris County’s goals of providing accessible, affordable, equitable, reliable, safe and
sustainable transportation options and networks to facilitate efficient movement of people and goods
throughout the region.
Alternative Options:
No other recommended solutions for this identified need.
