What does Interstate 10 (I-10) a.k.a. The Katy Freeway and $1.44 Billion Dollars have in common...

They don't do the math for you, but work it out in your head, on a calulculator... Not including landscaping and general beautification the changes that they are working hard on will end up costing over $1.44 billion dollars. You should know how much is going into this mammoth project on a freeway that serves more than 210,000 drivers each day especially if you live in the Houston area.

Oh yea, in case you didn't know, there are plans to put a toll-road in the middle of I-10. Nice for traffic, not for your pocket, but it helps pay for these changes, reduces the tax load, and allows people that don't qualify due to car load to use the HOV lane to make it to work quickly.
