US 59(S) to SH 288
Segment C

Segment C is a 26 mile four-lane controlled access toll road with intermittent frontage roads from US 59 (Southwest Freeway) to SH 288 through Fort Bend and Brazoria Counties.  

For Segment C, the alternative alignments were developed within the project area to fulfill the need and purpose of the project, to minimize potential environmental impacts, and to respond to public/landowner and resource agency comments. A Recommended Alternative Alignment was identified in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS, May 2000). This selection was based on public and resource agency input, and analysis and comparison of the potential effects on the physical, biological, and human environments of each alternative alignment.

The May 2000 DEIS is available in pdf format here.

The Study Team is currently preparing the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) with an anticipated release in the 4th Quarter 2008. The FEIS will evaluate the Preferred Alternative Alignment which was developed from public and agency input on the Recommended Alternative Alignment as described in the Segment C DEIS.

Additional information concerning the schedule can be found here.
