IH 610 (West Loop) Express Lanes
RPS' transportation engineering team completed the initial steps to add four miles of elevated express lanes on one of Houston’s most congested freeways, IH 610 (West Loop), between IH 10 West and IH 69 South (US 59). The intent is to have four new lanes, two in each direction, providing the capability to bypass the heavily traveled Galleria Area.
