What is actually happening
A 26-mile extension through the Richmond-Rosenberg corridor.
In May 2025, Fort Bend County commissioners gave TxDOT primacy over Segments C1, C2, and the unbuilt portion of Segment D. That cleared one of the project’s biggest hurdles and moved it under state authority. Right-of-way acquisition, the phase where the state identifies and makes offers on the property it needs, is underway. The road will get built. The useful question is what the next few years look like from your driveway.
The route
The extension runs through the FM 2977 growth corridor and the area around the planned Austin Point community, toward the southern end of the county.
The phases
Right-of-way acquisition first, then utility relocation, grading, and paving. Each phase affects nearby property differently, and they do not all arrive at once.
The timeline
Acquisition is active now. Heavy construction is realistically a 2027 to 2030 event, with the road opening around 2030 to 2031.
