Southbound lanes along Hwy. 288 reopen The southbound lanes of Hwy. 288 just north of Hwy. 6 reopened May 10 after nearly three years of work, officials with the Texas Department of Transportation confirmed. What you need to know The project, which sits near Manvel and stretches down near Rosharon, saw its south- bound lanes opened May 10 with the northbound side set to open up late June, TxDOT spokesperson Danny Perez said in a May 22 email. Work originally began on the project in fall 2022 and included building multiple bridges from Rodeo Palms Parkway to County Road 60, accord- ing to TxDOT documents. It is part of a series of projects that will total $197 million. Once the northbound lanes open, priority will shift to finishing the southbound frontage road from Rodeo Palms to Hwy. 6.

$6M to fund road work in Friendswood Work to extend Friendswood Parkway across Chigger Creek will continue with help from Galveston County’s bond that was approved in early May. The bond, which totals $110 million, will allocate $6 million for the project, according to county and city documents. The details The stretch is part of a larger project aimed at easing traffic at one of the city’s busiest intersections. It could take 36 months to build out, officials said.
