TxDOT's Houston District Is Accepting Public Comment On Inner Katy Managed Lanes Alternatives
Community Impact Newspaper provides additional detail on the two options Texas DOT has pitched for adding managed lanes to a 6.3-mile stretch of I-10 in Houston. Last week, the department publicly released the design proposals for the I-10 Inner Katy Managed Lanes Project (Voss Road to I-45). Both would add two managed lanes in each direction — either elevated (Alternative 1) or non-elevated (Alternative 2). Both also would require reconstruction of cross streets, include accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians and entail some braided ramps. The article details real estate acquisitions that would be required for Alternative 2, which would necessitate displacement of 52 homes and 30 commercial buildings. That’s an issue for LINK Houston, a public advocacy group whose director of policy, Peter Eccles, maintains a better alternative to those impacts and to managed lanes in general is to advance the Houston transit system’s METRORapid University Corridor Project. TxDOT will accept public comment on Inner Katy project design through February 26. According to the newspaper, it plans to select an alternative later this year. Construction could begin in early 2028 and is expected to take six to eight years.
