Sam Houston Tollway FULL Loop - America's LONGEST Beltway - Houston - Texas - 4K Highway Drive

The lovely sound of TxDot Concrete!! 😊

[@puppiesarepower3682]

It's a reminder of how awesome it is to drive here.😁

[@robytherobotwhiteversion]

​@@puppiesarepower3682 yep 😊

[@StoneBadJack]

It’s the crevasses in the concrete that sound satisfying too! 😄

[@scoredtrain4535]

Me too, it’s fascinating especially because I live in Massachusetts where they use asphalt instead of concrete

[@trulylondon1]

This beltway is easily one of my top 3 favorite freeways in the state. Back to back stack interchanges, a 65 mph speed limit, and just a beautiful 8-laned beltway. Can't wait to see what that bridge will look like in about 2 years! 😁😁

[@MasonWright1234]

They must be working on the bridge on beltway past I 10 East Freeway

[@trulylondon1]

@@MasonWright1234 Oh, trust me, they been working on that. The south-east bound beltway bridge ramp is almost done.

Yeah I've noticed that most of Houston's most impressive stacks are interchanges along this beltway.

I remember when beltway 8 between us highway 90 and us highway 59 used to be just two feeder roads

[@trulylondon1]

I think I was born around that time, but I really remember how south of the Beltway was just a regular 4-laned freeway and looked like a original bypass meeting TX-288.

I’m just becoming aware that this over took Cincinnatis I-275 as the nations largest beltway 😔😔 shout out to Houston the beat us by 2 miles. (88miles to 86 miles) but ours does enter three states

[@rollwash4432]

I see you haven't heard about the Grand Parkway in houston. When finished it will be a 180 mile loop around houston. 123 miles completed

[@mrblack8272]

A parkway isn’t an outer belt. A belt has to connect. The Grand Parkway will not. And it’s more of a highway around surrounding counties than Houston’s inner Core. It would be like us building a parkway around Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Dayton, Hamilton, Middletown etc. Nice to know though, just isn’t the same as I-275 or I-610

[@kwt2000trucker]

The longest beltway, but very mediocre to be in the state's largest city, and the 4th in the U.S. For the amount of traffic, it should have at least 8 lanes on each direction, so not everything in Texas is bigger

[@aaronkamakaze2967]

The traffic on this toll way isn't that bad. It's one of many major freeways and toll ways in houston. 8 lanes on each side would be complete over kill for this part of Houston. The Katy freeway which goes east to west is the widest in north America and possibly the widest in the world with some parts being 24 lanes in total width.

[@kwt2000trucker]

@@aaronkamakaze2967 its NOT the widest! It has only 4 toll free lanes and 2 toll lanes, a total of 6 lanes on each direction. The frontage/service/feeder roads and the shoulders DONT count as lanes nor part of an interstate highway NOR a freeway!! I dont know where in the hell you read that crap. I-75 and I-85 north of Atlanta GA are much much wider than the so called Katy freeway. Wherever you read that is FAKE NEWS

[@w-josh]

@@kwt2000trucker the shoulders may not count but the frontage, service and feeder roads do count. Yes I-75 @ the I-285 interchange near Marietta, GA has the most thru/travel lanes making it the widest thru lane road in the world, but Katy Freeway is still considered to be the widest Freeway in the world

[@kwt2000trucker]

@@w-josh feeder roads DONT count as part of a FREEWAY/EXPRESSWAY. An interstate highway and a freeway/expressway DO NOT have signal lights, driveways, crossovers. Again, wherever you read that, is FAKE, whoever wrote or claim that, is an ignorant who has no idea about the interstate highway system. Guess why there are signs of the name of the road at the entrance ramps with arrows pointing towards the restricted access lanes.
