TxDOT is proposing to widen FM 359 from FM 1093 to Mason Road, a distance of approximately 9.5 miles in Fort Bend County, Texas, in an effort to improve traffic flow and increase mobility within the project area. 

Current Conditions

FM 359 is a two-lane undivided road from FM 1093 to Mason Road.

Project Background

• FM 359 serves as one of the main north-south major collectors between Brookshire, Fulshear and Richmond west of Houston
  
• 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 the required capacity associated with the increase in traffic
• There are congestion and safety concerns along the corridor

Proposed Improvements

Proposed improvements include:

• Widen from two to four lanes, divided with a raised median 
• Provide right- and left-turn lanes at major intersections 
• Re-align several curves along the corridor

Estimated construction cost is $80 million.

Next Steps

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