Driving around Houston

Houston is well-served by a system of radial and ring highways that provide excellent access to markets outside the region.

Houston is the crossroads for Interstates 10 and 45.  Other major highways serving Houston are Loop 610, U.S. 59, U.S. 290, U.S. 90, Texas 288, Texas 225, Hardy Toll Road, Sam Houston Tollway and the Grand Parkway (Texas 99).

Houston also lies along the route of the proposed I-69 NAFTA superhighway that will link Canada, the U.S. industrial mid-west, Texas and Mexico.

Every freeway in the city has at least two names, some as many as seven, so it can be confusing for visitors. Familiarize yourself with the various freeway names.
