THE RIDE-FOR-LESS-THAN-A-GRAND PARKWAY “Fort Bend County officials Oct. 14 signed off on a joint resolution with numerous government entities to establish a set of terms and conditions to build the Grand Parkway as a toll road. . . . The agreement stipulates the scope of work, initial toll rate and methods to increase toll rates as the Grand Parkway, also known as Texas 99, is constructed as a 180-mile road looping around Houston. Under the terms, the project will be a tolled, two- to six-lane road with overpasses at major intersections and direct connectors at interchanges with other major thoroughfares.” [Houston Chronicle]

Great News!!!
This should tie in nicely with the extension of the Fort Bend Parkway.
damnit.
Well this sucks. So much for me trying to save money by not taking Westpark, but 99 to I-10 instead. :(
Rhodes, the section from Westpark to I-10 will remain free unless some major changes in state legislation occur.
This affects the non-expressway portions from Westpark south through Fort Bend County.
