Fees on the Harris County-controlled lanes of 288 are being cut in half.
HOUSTON — Drivers on one of Houston’s toll roads are now getting a break on fees collected.
That’s because fees along the Harris County-managed section of Highway 288 are being cut in half, though some peak-time rates will stay slightly higher to manage congestion.
The savings come as part of a plan to ease commutes and reinvest in the busy stretch of roadway. Revenue generated from the tolls will help fund the construction of two new general-purpose lanes on a stretch of Highway 288 between the 610 Loop and Beltway 8.
