Every day, hundreds of thousands of people travel up and down US 290 between Loop 610 and FM 2920 in Waller. In the future, thousands more will join in that traffic flow because the population growth rate of the Houston region is exploding.
In fact, it is growing so fast that the population is expected to increase by approximately 41 percent between the years 2000 and 2025. For the US 290 corridor section between 610 and FM 2920, the current population of about 412,000 is projected to expand to 708,000 in that time frame.
With that kind of rapid growth, there will obviously be many more people driving beside you each day. And, with that, comes additional problems. If the corridor remained the same as it is today, that would mean you and countless other US 290 motorists would experience significant amounts of traffic congestion and other aggravating transportation-related headaches. That's why we're already looking ahead to fix those problems for you.
