Background and Discussion:
On February 23, 2023, the Texas Transportation Commission authorized the connection of the Sam Houston Tollway at State Highway 225 partial interchange and the development of an agreement between Harris County and TxDOT. This agreement was approved by the Commissioners Court on April 25, 2023, and is for the design, construction, and maintenance of five direct connectors and the design of the remaining three direct connectors at the interchange.
On April 23, 2024, Commissioners Court approved the advertisement of the first construction package which consists of four of the direct connectors (northbound/ westbound, northbound/eastbound, southbound/westbound, and southbound/eastbound), the widening of the westbound State Highway 225 mainlanes for entrance/exit ramp construction, and the reconstructing of the eastbound State Highway 225 frontage road to provide room for the direct connectors.
The Easement Agreement with CWA is needed for the construction of the southbound/westbound direct connector over CWA’s Right Of Way.
Expected Impact:
Approval of the Easement Agreement will allow Harris County to complete the construction of the southbound/westbound direct connector.
Alternative Options:
No other recommended services for this identified need.
