Grand Parkway Opens Between 290 and 45!!!

How exciting is it to be able to zoom from The Woodlands all the way to Katy without a Red Light?! I have yet to travel the entire distance however the free tolling period allowed commuters to check it out and we were able to scoot back and forth as far as 2920 to 45 in under 10 minutes! It was amazing. I will say that traffic does back up to exit onto 45 from the Grand Parkway during the peek traffic hours in the evening and that is just because of congestion on 45. Looking forward to the opening that will travel further East past Riley Fuzzell and Spring Trails all the way to Highway 59. This segment is taking a little longer than expected due to delays from weather and land purchases. It will definitely be nice once that opens. It will be much more convenient to help clients in all areas, especially during those traffic hours that seem to be getting longer and longer these days. Houston is continuing to grow with medical and education among other businesses. We had over 25,000 new jobs last year and when there are jobs, then you have a good economy/real estate market. We ranked 2nd among new construction last year in Texas, just shy of Dallas and 3rd in all of the U.S. for Metro areas, just slightly behind Miami with Dallas being number 1.
