The Texas State Highway 249 Project is here to serve the growing transportation needs of Montgomery and Grimes counties northwest of Houston. The SH 249 Project will consist of approximately 26 miles of new roadway. The Project will provide a safe and reliable corridor for the public by linking suburban communities with major roadways and improving mobility and safety, and will have a lasting impact by enhancing the community’s ability to access regional destinations.
The SH 249 Project is divided into two segments:
- Segment 1, which consists of Sections 1A and 1B, includes approximately 15 miles of controlled-access, four-lane, divided tolled highway (two main lanes in each direction) with intermittent frontage roads.
- Section 1A extends from FM 1774 in Pinehurst to FM 1488 near Magnolia and is open to traffic.
- Section 1B extends from FM 1488 near Magnolia to FM 1774 north of Todd Mission in Plantersville and is open to traffic.
- Segment 2 is an approximately 11-mile, two-lane, non-tolled rural highway (one main lane in each direction) from FM 1774 north of Todd Mission in Plantersville to SH 105 between Plantersville and Navasota.
