Install/upgrade roadway lighting on IH 610.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) $8.12 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 7, 2025, to replace high mast fixtures with Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures on Interstate 610 (IH 610) between State Highway 288 and South Post Oak Road. This infrastructure improvement project represents a roadway lighting modernization effort designed to enhance safety and energy efficiency on a major interstate corridor serving the Houston metropolitan area. The project is scheduled for ultimate completion by September 2, 2034.

As the designated state transportation agency administering federal highway funding for Texas, TxDOT serves as the grant recipient and pass-through entity responsible for project implementation and oversight. This award falls within the Highway Planning and Construction program's broader portfolio of formula-based funding for highway infrastructure improvements, preservation, and safety enhancements on public roads. The roadway lighting upgrade is consistent with the program's eligible activities for highway safety improvements and infrastructure modernization on Federal-Aid highways.
