2 FM 1093 widening
TxDOT along with Fort Bend County will widen FM 1093 from the Grand Parkway to Spring
Green Blvd., with two frontage roads eventually extending into Fulshear. In addition to the
widening of the road, its right of way will be changed to include all 100 feet of METRO’s right of
way on the south side of FM 1093.
The project received environmental clearance from the Federal Highway Administration in May
because it posed no significant impact to the environment at the time. Due to modifications to the
project, additional clearance is needed. That clearance is expected to be issued in March 2015,
officials said.
Timeline: Construction is expected to begin fall 2015 and will last 24 to 30 months.
Cost: No estimated project cost available at this time.

An extension project on Franz Road in Katy from Avenue D to Bartlett Road is set to begin
within the next two months. The extension will create two 12-foot-wide lanes in each direction,
divided by a median. The work will be done in two phases. Phase 1 of the extension will see
Franz Road meet Cane Island Parkway; Phase 2 of the project will extend the existing street to
Bartlett Road.

4 The Grand Parkway Segments F1, F2 and G
As construction on three segments of the Grand Parkway—F1, F2 and G—continues, several
surrounding roadways in the Fairfield area are being prepped to connect to the toll road.
Cypresswood Drive in Fairfield previously ended at Crescent Lilly Drive, but construction is
underway to expand the roadway farther west. When complete, segments F1, F2 and G will
connect Hwy. 290 in Cypress with Hwy. 59 in Montgomery County. For more information on
the project’s progress, construction information and all lane closures in the affected area, visit
www.grandparkway99.com.
Timeline: The project is estimated to be completed in December 2015.
Projected cost: $1 billion
Funding sources: TxDOT
