Project Update
On behalf of the project team, we hope that you had a fun and safe summer season. The team has
been hard at work through the hot summer months to make great strides in construction of the
Grand Parkway Infrastructure project. As you know, Tropical Depression Imelda passed through the
region in mid-September. Our thoughts are with those who were impacted by this storm. Upon the
conclusion of Tropical Depression Imelda, the crews worked tirelessly to ensure that the aftermath
of the storm minimized the impact on the project. Below, you will find the latest updates and news
about the project.
Segment H
New Caney to FM 1413 Dayton
Segment H continues to make great progress with constructing bridg-
es, land clearance, grading and sub-grade preparation for the new
pavement. Pictured here is a crew preparing for a concrete pour asso-
ciated with the bridge columns that are being constructed adjacent to
Loop 494 near the New Caney High School. Concrete beams spanning
over IH-59 / IH-69 are scheduled to be placed over the coming
months .
Segment I-1
FM 1413 in Dayton to SH-146 in Mont Belvie
The team in Segment I-1 is currently working on a number of front-
age roads, bridges, and grading for the main lanes. Pictured is an aer-
ial view of where the frontage roads and main lanes will be con-
structed within Liberty County. While much of the construction activ-
ity may not be seen, crews will be mobilizing shortly to the areas of
FM 686 and CR 621. At these locations, the team will begin con-
structing bridges over the coming months
