If you are traveling on Highway 17, you’ll want to add some additional time for traveling west of Houston.
The stretch of roadway is only one way as workmen build shoulders and install asphalt. The work extends from Highway 38 to South Sam Houston Blvd. At West Highway 17 and Lilly Avenue, a turn lane is under construction.
Delays occur as a lead vehicle escorts vehicles one way through the site and then brings back traffic in the opposite direction.
