Hardy Toll Road Downtown Connector
Project Types: Capacity Expansion, Managed Lanes/TollThe Hardy Downtown Connector project will extend the Hardy Toll Road from its current terminus at IH 610 North into downtown Houston and will consist of four toll lanes (two in each direction) for 3.6 miles. HCTRA recently reached the necessary agreements for the relocation of the rail line, an important milestone for the progression of this project, which will be completed in two phases. Phase I will include the relocation of the Houston Belt and; Terminal rail lines (completed in the fall of 2014), followed by the construction of overpasses at Quitman and Collingsworth, and an underpass at Lorraine Street to eliminate at-grade crossings. Phase II will be the construction of the toll lanes.
