HOUSTON --
TxDOT is celebrating the first steps toward expanding the Grand Parkway. State and local officials turned over dirt with ceremonial shovels at the future site of the expansion Tuesday afternoon. Construction on the new 38-mile segment is expected to take two and a half years to complete.
Once finished, drivers will be able to take the Grand Parkway from 290 directly to the Eastex Freeway.
