At 180+ miles, this circumferential scenic highway will be the longest highway loop in the United States, traversing seven counties and encircling the Greater Houston region, which is the fourth-most populous city in the United States. In March 2017, the Texas Department of Transportation awarded the design-build construction contract for Segments H, I-1 & I-2 to Grand Parkway Infrastructure, a joint venture led by global infrastructure leader Ferrovial Construction, along with Webber LLC and Granite Construction Inc. Construction along the corridor, stretching from the US 59/69 interchange to the north and SH 146 in Baytown to the south, began in 2018. Pre-construction activities included final designs of the road, right-of-way acquisition with property owners, and utility relocations. Segments H and I-1 are approximately 37.5 miles of a two-lane toll facility with intermittent four-lane sections for passing.   Segment 1-2 is made up of Segments 1-2A and I-2B.  Segment I-2A consists of tolling equipment, upgrades and other improvements for approximately 8.7 miles of an existing four-lane facility from FM 1405 to Interstate 10.  Segment I-2B is approximately 6.1 miles of a new four-lane toll facility from SH 146 in Baytown to FM 1405.
