US 59 from Spur 10 to SH 99
Study description
The proposed improvements include widening US 59 from Spur 10 to SH 99 from a four-lane divided highway with discontinuous two-lane frontage roads, in Fort Bend County, Texas.
The overall project includes:
- Widening of existing roadway
- Construction of continuous two-lane frontage roads where they are currently discontinuous
- Grade separation/interchange improvements at various intersections
- Construction of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes
Project design changes
In response to public and local government concerns and comments regarding access and safety expressed at a public hearing on May 16, 2013, a revaluation was conducted and the following design changes were made by TxDOT:
- The project's additional right-of-way requirements have been reduced and would now require no displacements
- US 59 mainlanes are now proposed to go over FM 762 and Reading Road
- At FM 762, a new access road connecting the park & ride facilities on the north and south sides of US 59 would also be constructed
- Reversed exit ramps between:
- Spur 10 and Cottonwood Church Road
- Cottonwood Church Road and Kroesche Road
- Kroesche Road and Bamore Road
- Southbound Reading Road ramp
