Houston’s third loop nears reality as Three Grand Parkway approaches completion

​HOUSTON – Visions of a third​​​ outer loop around the Greater Houston area will soon be one substantial step closer to becoming a reality. Grand Parkway officials say segments F-1, F-2 and G of the project — 38 miles of tolled roadway from Hwy. 290 to Hwy. 59 — are on target to be complete by the end of 2015.

The full project consists of 11 segments spanning 184 miles. With the completion of the next three segments, 71 miles will be open to drivers, connecting Hwy. 59 South to Hwy. 59 North around the Northwest Houston region. The completion of the parkway is widely expected to make travel easier for people who live in Cypress when traveling to The Woodlands or Katy.
