lane expressway with partial accesscontrolled outer lanes. From Loop 1604
to Stone Oak Parkway, the expressway
lanes would include two non-toll
general purpose lanes with an auxiliary
lane plus one managed lane in each
direction. The expressway lanes would
be situated between three partial accesscontrolled outer lanes in each direction,
also known as frontage roads. From
Stone Oak Parkway to Borgfeld Drive,
US 281 would ultimately be expanded
to a six-lane expressway (three managed
lanes in each direction) with two nontoll outer lanes in each direction. The
purpose of the project is to improve
mobility and accessibility, enhance
safety, and improve community quality
of life.
