Congested highways are nothing new for Katy-area drivers, especially when traveling through the Energy Corridor into Houston.
Several stretches of Katy-area highways ranked high on the list of the most congested roadways in Texas, according to a December report from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. The TTI uses traffic and speed data to measure congestion, and though the specific reasons for congestion vary among roads, economic growth is the most common factor, TTI officials said in a press release.
Though several sections of Katy-area roads remain in the top 100, the ranking of five sections of road dropped between 2018 and 2019-and most have seen drops multiple years in a row, according to the report.
