SH 35 (Spur 5) from I-45 to I-610
Current conditions
SH 35, between the project limits, current does not exist. The project will tie existing Spur 5 travel lanes and generally construct within right-of-way previously acquired by TxDOT. This project is currently under construction.
Proposed improvements
TxDOT's Houston District will extend existing Spur 5, and construct on new location, as SH 35 from I-45 to I-610 in Harris County. The projectconsists of building a four to ten lane roadway with elevated, multi-directional interchanges between SH 35 (Spur 5) and I-610. The construction limits of mainlanes will end just south of I-610, tying into the local street system at Dixie Drive.
The project is approximately 3.4 miles in length and would require approximately 17 acres of new ROW (including displacements) to accommodate the proposed improvements.
The purpose of the project is to:
- Accommodate regional population growth;
- Reduce traffic congestion within the project area;
- Increase north/south mobility; and
- Increase hurricane evacuation capacity
