The state is looking to upgrade the 24-mile stretch of roadway between Beltway 8 and Loop 336 South in Conroe. TxDOT wants to present its project to the public and get everyone's input.
Specifically, the state the I-45N Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study, whose purpose is to "explore transportation alternatives to address the growing safety, mobility, and connectivity needs along the corridor due to the projected population and employment growth in the greater Houston region," the TxDOT's website said.
A series of public meetings were held in 2018 and 2019. Public input from those meetings were considered in the study's findings, TxDOT said.
Now with these next meetings, TxDOT said it wants to give the community the opportunity to review and comment on the reasonable alternatives developed to address the I-45N corridor needs as well as the evaluation process that will be used to identify those alternatives.
