State Highway 249, SH 249, the Tomball Parkway, Tomball Tollway or West Mount Houston Road is a generally north–south highway in Southeast Texas. The current northern terminus of the highway is in Pinehurst at the intersection of FM 1774 and FM 149. The Southern terminus is in North Houston at Interstate 45.

Route description

The section of SH 249 north of its junction with Beltway 8 is referred to by area residents as the Tomball Parkway because it leads to and is the main road through Tomball. Along the east-west section between I-45 and West Montgomery, it is called West Mount Houston Road. West Mount Houston Road, however, actually extends east past the intersection of SH 249 at I-45.

Tomball Tollway section

Phase I

Opened April 12, 2015, Tomball Tollway Phase 1 is 6 miles (9.7 km) from Spring Cypress Road to FM 2920 with three lanes in each direction that are used to bypass seven stoplights and will only accept electronic toll-tags (EZ Tag, TollTag and the TxTag) as no cash payments will be allowed having a total cost of $1.50 for the entire length of the tollway, while the frontage roads will remain free to all drivers.^[2]

Phase II

Tomball Tollway Phase 2 is a planned extension from FM 2920 to the Harris-Montgomery County line. It is currently under construction and will be completed in December 2019.^[3]

History

Originally a part of FM 149, the highway was given the designation of SH 249 in 1988.^[1] The highway’s importance grew after Compaq Computer Corporation (now known as Hewlett-Packard) moved its headquarters close to the intersection of SH 249 and Louetta Rd.^[4] In 2003, a portion of SH 249 in Tomball was renamed Bus. SH  249B from Hicks Road to Holderreith Road. This is because of the bypass that bypasses Tomball on the west side of the city.

Previously, SH 249 was designated on June 22, 1937^[5] from then-SH 73 (now Interstate 10) near San Felipe north to the Brazos River. The route was redesignated on May 9, 1940 as Texas Spur 99.^[6] The route became part of Farm to Market Road 1458 on January 20, 1966.

Future

Current plans call for the highway to extend to the Bryan–College Station area. Continued growth in the Bryan/College Station, Conroe and NW Houston regions have congested existing roadways, including SH 105 and FM 1774. Texas A&M University and businesses in the Bryan/College Station area would benefit from faster connections to Bush-Intercontinental Airport, the Port of Houston and the Texas Medical Center. A bypass of Magnolia, Texas is desirable because of the large traffic load every October due to the annual Renaissance fair. Decreased funding for road projects in recent years had stalled the extension of SH 249. However the rapid growth in the area has led to a renewed push in 2012 to build further segments.

Phase one runs from just north of Spring Cypress Road, the current terminus of the existing free lanes to just north of the existing Tomball bypass. The existing lanes have become frontage roads and are not tolled.^[7] Phase two will extend the tollway into Montgomery County to FM 1774 at Pinehurst. This $335 million project will be overseen by the Harris and Montgomery County toll road authorities.^[8] Construction of phase one began in fall 2013, likely in parallel to the construction of SH 99 phases F-1 and F-2. SH 99, the Grand Parkway, intersects SH 249 around Boudreaux Road. These sections opened on 12 April 2015.^[9] Phase 2 construction began in fall 2016.

Plans for the middle segments (Pinehurst-Todd Mission) and the north segment (Todd Mission-Navasota) have been revived by the Texas Department of Transportation in early 2013. TxDOT has formed a working group with local officials and stakeholders to discuss alternatives for the SH 249 corridor.^[10][11][12] The middle segment is currently under construction and is planned to open in early 2020.^[13]
