Chris Nunes, chief operating o cer of The Woodlands Township, said the portion of the project aecting The Woodlands has not yet begun. “The median project is a long way out at this time,” Nunes said. “We funded the design for the project with the understanding TxDOT will fund the construction. The design funding was not part of the construction cost, which is funded by state and federal sources.
The project, which has been in the works since 2019, aims to reduce crashes, improve mobility, and support existing and future development, Flores said. The medians will vary in width from 1 foot to 14 feet wide. Spanning 12.44 miles, the project is anticipated to cost $10.23 million, according to documents from TxDOT.

As of a November report, TxDOT was working on truck loons, which add pavement to help trucks make U-turns, Public Information Ocer Leo Flores said
