Construction to begin on Grand Parkway expansion to Alvin

“So from I-10 East, you can continue going north, that can take you up all the way to I-69 and I-45 and if you wanted to take it all the way down to Katy, for example, you could do that without having to go into the core of the city,” explained Danny Perez, with the Texas Department of Transportation.

Of the 11 segments to the project, segment B-1, located in Alvin, was on full display Thursday night as construction on the next phase is expected to start.

“It would begin at I-45 the Gulf Freeway and it’ll come to Alvin on 35,” said Perez.

It’s the same area Alvin resident Daniel Castillo has called home for the last ten years.

“I actually own this piece of property right at this corner right there and I don’t know how,  I don’t know how it’s going to impact me,” said Castillo.

Leaders with the TxDOT want to get it right before shovels hit the ground.

“Any potential impacts to the community, whether it’s a residential or the business community, so we’re giving them the chance to see it now, provide some feedback and then we’ll take that feedback into consideration as we move forward with the project,” explained Perez.

Construction on the B-1 section from League City to Alvin is set to begin in the spring of 2027 and will take three years to complete.

If you weren’t able to make it out to Thursday’s presentation, TxDOT will have another opportunity for residents in the area to provide feedback on Tuesday, Oct. 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Lobit Elementary/Middle School cafeteria in Dickinson.
