TxDOT Houston District is proposing to widen FM 2977 from FM 762 to FM 361, a distance of approximately 8 miles, in Fort Bend County, Texas. The purpose of the project is to improve traffic flow and increase mobility within the project area.

Current Conditions

Currently, FM 2977 is a two-lane undivided road from FM 762 to FM 361. The corridor is experiencing significant residential and commercial development from FM 762 to Powerline Road;  Powerline Road to FM 361 is currently undeveloped.

Project Background

• This area of Fort Bend County is planned for continued residential and commercial development. 
• With the forecasted increase in development, the current two-lane road will not be able to accommodate future needs 

Proposed Improvements

Proposed improvements include:

• Widen from two to four lanes with raised medians 
• Add curb and gutter and possibly open ditch in suburban areas
  
• Provide signalized intersection at Summer Lakes Drive and Bryan Road
• Realign Rohan Road, Meadow Land, and Powerline Road
• Provide designated turn lanes to improve access and mobility
• Re-align curves along the corridor

Estimated construction cost is $70,000,000.00.  

Next Steps 

• Conduct environmental analysis
  
• Develop alternatives
• Complete Environmental Assessment document
• Begin right of way acquisition
• Finalize design
