The TxDOT studies are for the 36A corridor project, which consists of a proposed transportation corridor from I-69 southwest of Rosenberg to Hwy. 6 north of Hempstead. The environmental study area includes parts of Fort Bend, Waller, Austin and Harris counties. TxDOT documents state the project’s purpose is to match projected growth in the study area to avoid congestion issues, improve general connectivity and improve hurricane evacuation route capacity. The study also aims to identify constraints of future construction, such as residential and commercial areas, historic sites, parks, and cemeteries. TxDOT o cials will conduct two environmental studies for the north and south segments of the project. Before o cially initiating the studies, meetings with the public and elected o cials will be conducted as TxDOT o cials draft an environmental impact statement. Fort Bend County commissioners in April passed a resolution calling for the study process to restart after seeing delays last year. County agenda documents state the process faced delays after being split into north and south segments.
