The 375 Texas Department of Transportation Commission has awarded the design-build contract for segments H&I of State Highway 99/Grand Parkway in the Houston area to Grand Parkway Infrastructure, a joint-venture of 4419 Ferrovial Agroman US, Webber and 7973 Granite Construction.

The US$855 million project northeast of Houston spans 52.5 miles through Chambers, Harris, Liberty and Montgomery counties and will substantially increase capacity along SH 99 with the construction of one to two new tolled lanes in each direction between US 59 to Interstate 10 (I-10) and four additional toll lanes.

In addition to constructing new tolled lanes and upgrading the tolling infrastructure on SH 99 from I-10 to FM 1405, the partnership will also be responsible for maintaining portions of the project, which is expected to be completed within the next six years.
