Same for the Katy Freeway. ANYTIME is bumper to bumper. Like 2 am. Seriosuly. Guess thats why they are expanding it to 24 lanes or something. City had to drop major coin and basically bought all the stores/buildings/property on wither side of a major freeway through a major town to accomidate the expansion. Its about a 10-15 mile stretch of road. So it wasnt cheap. I dont know why they didnt just double-decker it. Probably wouldda been cheaper. I avoid the Katy Freeway whenever possible in Houston. Fortunately I am only on it for a tiny stretch of time when I go to see the family. I get to get off way out west and take either Grand Parkway or Hwy 6.
