I-45 North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP)

Segments 3B-1 and 3B-2 Public Meetings are scheduled for:

Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The virtual public meeting will include live question and answer sessions on a variety of project topics. You may access the public meeting by visiting this virtual meeting page.

The I-45 NHHIP is designed to create additional roadway capacity to manage congestion, enhance safety, and improve mobility. The project spans I-45 from I-69 to Beltway 8 North, including I-69 improvements between Spur 527 and I-45 in Harris County, Texas. This encompasses the reconstruction of the downtown freeway system, including I-45, I-69, I-10 and SH 288. I-45 will be rerouted from the west side of downtown Houston to run parallel with I-69 and I-10 until it exits the downtown area and continues north.

The public meeting will focus on the two NHHIP projects on which construction is occurring, Segment 3B-1 and Segment 3B-2, and the status of activities and requirements under the Voluntary Resolution Agreement (VRA) between TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). A map depicting the full project limits, including each of the three segments, is available online.

Materials are also on file and available for review Monday through Friday by appointment between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Houston District Office, 7600 Washington Avenue, Houston, Texas, 77007.
