The $520 million SH 249 Extension Project will expand the highway with approximately 24 miles of new roadway in the Houston area, providing a link between suburban communities and major roadways.  The new roadway will consist of two segments: Segment 1 will be 14 miles of four-lane, controlled-access tollway with intermittent frontage roads, and Segment 2 will be 10 miles of two-lane, non-tolled rural highway.

CLIENT: William Brothers Construction

To maintain a high level of quality in this project, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) developed technical specifications to conduct a thorough testing and verification of the constructed roadway.
