Fort Bend Grand Parkway Toll Road Authority (FBGPTRA) will continue construction on the north bound lanes of the Jodie Stavinoha bridge over the Brazos River located between Riverpark Dr. and New Territory Blvd.  The total closure is required to complete the emergency repair that will stabilize the northern bank of the Brazos River and prevent any damage to the Grand Parkway/SH 99 bridge while ensuring the safety of the traveling public. Beginning Saturday, October 28 at 7:00 am, the northbound mainlanes between Riverpark Dr. and New Territory Blvd. will be closed continuously until Tuesday, November 21 at 5:00 am when one lane will reopen.  Southbound traffic over the Jodie Stavinhoa Bridge will remain open in one lane only during this time.

Northbound traffic on Grand Parkway/SH 99 may detour by traveling north on IH 69/US 59, turn left to proceed north on SH 6, then turn left to proceed west on US 90A and proceed to Grand Parkway (SH 99).  Traffic will be able to reenter the SH 99 mainlanes at the northbound entrance ramp from US 90A/ FM 1464.

Between November 21 and November 27, both northbound and southbound Grand Parkway/SH 99 traffic is scheduled to remain open in one lane only. On November 27^th the southbound mainlanes will be closed continuously until Friday, December 22 at 5:00 pm. All dates on the southbound traffic closure are tentative and subject to change at this time.

Southbound traffic on Grand Parkway/SH 99 will exit FM 1464/US 90A, turn left to proceed east on US 90A, then turn right to proceed south on SH 6. Traffic will be able to access IH 69/US 59 to proceed to their final destination. Local New Territory residents may continue to access New Territory Blvd. and Sandhill Dr. using the SH 99 frontage roads and auxiliary lane.

We advise the traveling public to consider alternative routes during the closure times listed above.  Our goal is to minimize traffic delays while ensuring the safety of the traveling public at all times.  Please use caution and be aware of your surroundings when navigating through the construction and detour areas.  For updates and information, visit our website www.fbctra.com.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fort Bend County, Texas — The Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority ceased all tolling on Sunday, August 27, 2017 in coordination with tolling partners in the Houston area to facilitate easier transportation following the impacts of Hurricane Harvey.

After several days of conversations and discussions we have determined that the resumption of tolling in Fort Bend County will begin on Monday, Sept. 11th for the Fort Bend Parkway from Beltway to south to Sienna Parkway and the Grand Parkway (SH-99) from Westpark south to I-69 (US-59). On Wednesday tolls will resume on the Westpark Tollway from the Fort Bend County line west to SH-99. CORRECTION: all three of Fort Bend County’s toll roads do have non-tolled alternatives.

Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) may resume tolling soon but they do not have a specific date at this time. For information about the resumption of tolls on HCTRA-managed roadways, see https://www.hctra.org/. TxDOT will also resume tolling soon but could not provide a firm date at the time of writing.

###

Due to Hurricane Harvey, FBCTRA has waived all tolls until further notice; and will provide 24 hour notice prior to resuming tolls.

As you may have seen on the news, Texas toll road agencies have recently upgraded the regional interoperability system in a step towards nationwide interoperability. This upgrade has resulted in unanticipated delays in transactions being posted to customer toll tag accounts and TxTag toll violations in error on the Grand Parkway (I-10 West to US-59 North).

HCTRA has asked that toll-tag users who have received incorrect notices email a copy of the invoice, license plate number, HCTRA account number, full name and contact information to:

txtagdisputes@hctra.org

Although FBCTRA cannot address HCTRA or TxTag violations, you can contact FBCTRA directly at 832-735-7385 or info@fbctra.com for more information.
