Several road improvements are underway and coming soon across the Houston region. Here are some projects to keep an eye on.

Latest update: Construction bids for the $81 million Greenhouse Road overpass project are now being accepted, Harris County Precinct 3 officials said. 

According to details shared by Harris County MUD 500 and Caldwell Companies, the new Greenhouse Road underpass will include an expanded overpass on Hwy. 290, a tunnel structure underneath the Union Pacific railroad and additional sidewalks and pedestrian crossings.

Other projects: The Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority is expanding Westpark Tollway an additional four miles, bringing its new end to Charger Way. The first 2-mile extension of the project opened Feb. 28, more than eight months ahead of schedule.

Additionally, a portion of FM 1960 was widened from a four-lane asphalt roadway to a six-lane divided concrete roadway with a raised median, curbs and gutters, channelized left-turn lanes and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.
