Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Road Projects, Sidewalks & Grand Parkway Upgrades Move Forward
A wave of road improvements, sidewalk expansions, and mobility upgrades is moving forward across Fort Bend County Precinct 1, as local leaders work to deliver long-term infrastructure solutions under the county’s 2023 Mobility Bond Program.
Dozens of projects—ranging from new traffic signals to full road reconstructions—are in various stages of planning, design, and construction. Together, they aim to improve traffic flow, increase pedestrian safety, and prepare Fort Bend’s infrastructure for continued residential and commercial growth.
Skinner, Hunt, and Pool Hill Roads Among Major Road Upgrades
Several of the largest mobility projects are clustered around Skinner Lane, Hunt Road, and Pool Hill Road—three major corridors that serve expanding parts of Precinct 1.
Each road is being reconstructed in phases. For example, the Skinner Lane corridor is being developed in four segments, stretching from W. Bellfort to Mason Road. Engineering teams are coordinating drainage studies, roadway realignments, and school district input to ensure long-term functionality and safety.
Meanwhile, Hunt Road is being upgraded across three segments with new through lanes, a left-turn lane, and drainage improvements. Segment 2 is awaiting final right-of-way acquisition, and Segment 3 includes future intersection improvements at Pool Hill Road.
Pool Hill Road, which will ultimately stretch north of FM 1093, is being expanded in three phases as well. Engineering work is incorporating drainage to accommodate a future LCISD campus along the route.

Greenbusch and Huggins Drive: New Concrete Roads and Traffic Signals
On Greenbusch Road, crews are replacing the old two-lane asphalt road with a new two-lane concrete road, storm sewer infrastructure, and a bridge near the Spring Green/Pine Mill Ranch intersection. A traffic signal is also being added, and the project is expected to be completed by June 2026.
Huggins Drive is also undergoing reconstruction to become a three-lane concrete road with a new waterline and sanitary sewer relocation. A second phase of design work will include new turn lanes at the FM 359 intersection and a water line requested by the City of Fulshear.
Other road projects include improvements on Fulshear Bend Drive, Settegast Ranch Road, Brandt Road, and Falcon Landing Boulevard, where new lanes and drainage systems are being designed or constructed to accommodate growth and reduce congestion.
Sidewalk Improvements and Traffic Signals Support Safer Travel
Mobility doesn’t just mean vehicles. A dedicated sidewalk improvement project is underway at five locations across Precinct 1. Surveys are complete at most sites, and design teams are working around irrigation lines and control systems to ensure compliance with accessibility guidelines.
Traffic signals are also coming to key intersections. Notably, Cinco Ranch Boulevard at Falcon Landing Boulevardhas cleared design and is scheduled to be bid out in December. While some residents expressed hesitation, county officials confirmed the intersection meets the necessary safety warrants and will move forward with installation.

Grand Parkway 99 Projects Progressing with TxDOT and Utility Coordination
Several significant mobility projects are also tied to Grand Parkway (SH 99). Construction continues on the southbound frontage road from FM 1093 to Fry Road, where Atmos utility relocations are complete and a change order will help wrap up work by early 2026.
Additional segments—covering both northbound and southbound frontage roads between Bay Hill Boulevard, Westheimer, and Fry Road—are in the design phase. These will go to bid between July 2026 and April 2027, depending on coordination with TxDOT. The plans also include main lane widening over Bay Hill and Cinco Ranch, utility relocations, and even noise barrier design considerations.
Right-of-way acquisition remains a critical component for several Grand Parkway projects. Updates on page 2 of the Grand Parkway report indicate that some parcels remain outstanding, but key acquisitions for utility and paving work are underway.
A Vision for Long-Term Connectivity and Quality of Life
These investments reflect a broader vision to improve mobility and quality of life for Fort Bend residents. Whether it’s a safer school route, better access to libraries and parks, or reduced commute times along major roads, these projects are designed to support the county’s growing needs.
