Fort Bend Westpark Tollway
The Fort Bend Westpark Tollway ties-in to the recently constructed HCTRA portion of the tollway and is operated by the Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority (FBCTRA). The Fort Bend Westpark Tollway project was completed on August 10, 2005.
The project improves auto mobility for residents in northeastern Fort Bend County by creating a new east–west corridor with access to State Highway 6, Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8), US 59, and the Uptown District of Houston.
Parallel to the Fort Bend Westpark Tollway, FM 1093 has been widened by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to four lanes. FM 1093 at this location serves as a toll-free frontage road for the tollway. The Fort Bend Westpark Tollway will add an additional four lanes to this effort—resulting in an eight-lane road. TxDOT is funding construction of the tollway interchanges at State Highway 99 and FM 1464.

Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or bend:
“She was beautiful when she died—a hundred years ago.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
“Young, and so thin, and so straight.
So straight! as if nothing could ever bend her.
But poor men would bend her, and doing things with poor men,
Being much in bed, and babies would bend her over,
And the rest of things in life that were for poor women,
Coming to them grinning and pretty with intent to bend and to kill.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
