The Fort Bend Westpark Tollway is a six-mile toll road that parallels FM 1093 from FM 1464 to west of Texas State Highway 99 (Grand Parkway) and is an extension of the Harris County Toll Road Authority 's (HCTRA) 14-mile toll road which is known simply as Westpark Tollway . The Fort Bend Westpark Tollway ties-in to the recently constructed HCTRA portion of the tollway and is operated by the Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority (FBCTRA). The Fort Bend Westpark Tollway project was completed on August 10, 2005. The entire 20-mile Westpark Tollway, including both the HCTRA and FBCTRA sections, extends from Texas State Highway 99 (Grand Parkway) on the west to Interstate 610 on the east. The project drastically improves mobility for Fort Bend County residents in the area by creating a new east-west corridor with access to State Highway 6 , Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8), US 59 and the Galleria and Uptown area. Parallel to the Fort Bend Westpark Tollway, FM 1093 has been widened by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to four lanes. The Fort Bend Westpark Tollway will add an additional four lanes to this effort, resulting in an eight-lane road. TxDOT is funding construction of the tollway interchanges at Texas State Highway 99 and FM 1464. REFERENCES |
