2016 Montgomery County Thoroughfare Plan

Montgomery County and the City of Conroe, together with H-GAC and TxDOT developed a Thoroughfare Plan that is needed to accommodate the future growth within the County. Thoroughfare planning is a long-range transportation planning tool that will guide the development of Montgomery County for decades to come by identifying needed roadway corridors and preserving future roadway right-of-way. The 2016 Montgomery County Thoroughfare Plan (MCTP) is not a list of construction projects but rather 50 year plan that intends to create a roadway network that will improve roadway capacity and connectivity.
