Council hears Loop 9 update from TxDOT materials; Glenn Heights segment placed in 0–5 year planning window
Summary
Councilmember Nelda Washington summarized TxDOT materials on Loop 9, which show Segment A (affecting Glenn Heights) is environmentally cleared and in right‑of‑way acquisition with an estimated multi‑segment cost near $100 million; a Glenn Heights‑area portion is estimated at about $15.2 million and expected to begin in the 0–5 year regional planning window (work potentially starting by late 2028).
Councilwoman Nelda Washington presented an informational update she received from TxDOT staff (Travis Campbell) on the regional Loop 9 project, explaining the three‑segment structure, current status, and cost estimates.
Washington said TxDOT described Segment A (US‑67 to I‑35E), which impacts the Glenn Heights area, as “environmentally cleared with a firmly established footprint” and currently moving into right‑of‑way acquisition and utility relocation; she read line‑item cost estimates provided by TxDOT for various breakouts and said building the entire Segment A at once would cost on the order of $100,000,000. She said the TxDOT materials placed the Glenn Heights portion in the active 0–5 year regional planning window and suggested preliminary work for the Glenn Heights‑area portion could begin by late 2028, though a definitive groundbreaking date is to be determined by TxDOT and funding availability.
The presentation was informational; councilmembers thanked Washington for the detail and asked that TxDOT or its director attend a future meeting for further updates. No action was requested or taken on the Loop 9 information.
