The Grand Parkway (SH 99) is a proposed 180+ mile circumferential scenic highway traversing seven
counties and encircling the Greater Houston region. The project has been shown
on governmental planning documents since the early 1960's.
Currently 20 miles
of the highway, Segment D, from US 59 near Sugar Land to IH 10 near Katy, have been constructed and is a toll free road open to the
traveling public since August 31, 1994.
On February 19, 2008, a ribbon-cutting celebration commemorating the completion of the first phase of Segment I-2 (IH 10 to FM 1405) was held, and the segment was opened to traffic on March 25, 2008. Phase 2 of Segment I-2 (FM 1405 to SH 146) is currently under design.
Other segments are in various
stages of project development. For detailed segment information, please click
