SH 99 Grand Parkway System

Eight segments of the 107-mile Grand Parkway System are now open, as part of the SH 99 Grand Parkway Project, a planned loop around the Houston metro area. Drivers can travel nonstop on the SH 99 Grand Parkway System through the northwest and northeast areas of Houston from I-10 near Katy to SH 146 in southwest Baytown. In addition to helping relieve traffic congestion in some of the region’s fastest-growing communities, the SH 99 Grand Parkway System provides additional hurricane and emergency evacuation routes for the greater Houston area.

Once completed, the SH 99 Grand Parkway Project will consist of 184 miles and 11 segment — designated A through I-2 — will travel through seven counties.
