Big changes
for North Freeway
Plans to remake Interstate 45 from
downtown north to Beltway 8 add
hundreds of acres of adjoining land to the
freeway’s footprint, especially north of
Loop 610 where significant widening is
planned but questioned by neighborhood
groups, advocates for transit and bicycling
and some local elected officials. The effects
that property acquisition would have vary
along the route.
