Traveling Around Houston

Houston is growing continuously, with the expansion of major roadways as well as the addition of access-ways making travel around the Houston area more convenient. Houston is served by a number of interstate highways and tollways, including a number of new roadways that are enhancing daily commutes. Interstate 10, Interstate 45, US Highway 290, US Highway 59 and State Highway 288 are among the main arteries in and out of Houston's Central Business District, or Downtown Houston. Loop 610 (or "The Loop"), which encircles the most close-in part of the city, also offers access to the major freeways.

The Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8), the Hardy Toll Road, the new Fort Bend Tollway and the new Westpark Toll Road have all made travel around Houston even easier.
