Yes, North Texas traffic is getting worse. What can we do about it? 🚦
Our state cannot keep building highways forever.

A “Black Lives Matter” roadway in Houston’s Third Ward could be on the chopping block for TxDOT’s order to remove non-traffic signage and art from roadways. A Galveston city spokesperson said it's waiting for TxDOT’s decision on a Juneteenth sign.
A section of the I-10 Katy Freeway will be reduced to two lanes beginning later this month until mid-2026 as the TxDOT continues work on the I-10 White Oak Bayou Elevation Project.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz took it upon himself to paint over graffiti along the Southwest Freeway in Houston that was critical of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was shot and killed last week.

In a social media post Sunday, Cruz characterized his painting over the graffiti as “Erasing evil.” He's one of many elected officials in Texas to call out speech that is critical of Kirk, the conservative activist who was shot and killed last week in Utah.
The Houston Avenue bridge, which has repeatedly been struck by motorists passing underneath it over the years, likely will be demolished and relocated as part of an ongoing TxDOT project to elevate Interstate 10 near White Oak Bayou.

The bridge's monitoring system has recorded 68 "strike incidents" this year, including two last week, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. As part of a $400 million project to elevate Interstate 10, the state agency plans to demolish the bridge in early 2027 and then reconstruct it underneath the freeway to prevent further strikes.
Parents of Awty International School students protested Thursday outside a Houston office for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which approved a concrete batch plant that is operating near the campus.

The Grand Parkway between Interstate 10 and U.S. 290 will be expanded from two to three lanes in each direction to help ease traffic congestion in a part of Harris County that is being rapidly developed.

#TxDOT would like you to know that they in fact do freeway removals. In this case, the conversion of S M Wright Freeway to Boulevard, in #SouthDallas.
Now, one can argue that the "boulevard" is still 6–7 lanes wide, that they turned US 175 into an elevated highway in the process, and that S M Wright was a dumb urban highway to begin with, running parallel as it does to I-45 and being largely redundant.
But they are adding 12' shared-use paths on either side, which is nice.
