I’ve slept since I read about the loop but it seems to me like it was a toll road somewhere near the airport? Concerned about it and need to find it again because we go to the mountains at Christmas and when I saw it it seemed like I needed to find a way around it from the airport to the interstate. Seems as though everybody is looking for engineers. grandson is in excellent Baptist school, not public - takes all three of us to pay tuition but public school is not an option. Houses in our neighborhood outside Houston are now on the market for four plus months..

[Financing:
The Authority used private money, not taxes, to finance the construction bonds, so no public vote was required as with W-470 or E-470. Bonds worth $386M were issued in early summer 2001. The final cost of the tollway was about $415M. When Brisa/CCR took over operation of the road in 2007, part of the agreement was paying off the Authority's outstanding bonds.]

 

"The consortium comprising Brisa Auto-Estradas de Portugal SA and its Brazilian affiliate Companhia de Concessoes Rodoviarias (CCR) could pay about 433 mln eur for the 99-year concession Northwest Parkway Highway, in Colorado, an amount which is more than initially expected, Jornal de Negocios reported."

Apparently SaxxonWoods doesn't know his ant-farm as well as he thinks.
