Question: Why was highway 59 changed to 69?Answer: The Texas Transportation Commission started designating parts of U.S. Highway 59 to Interstate 69 in the Houston area in 2012. About six months later, the commission agreed on renaming a 28.4-mile stretch from the West Loop south near Spur 529 in Rosenberg. In March 2015, it approved to close the 11-mile gap from the North Loop south to the West Loop. The Texas Transportation Commission finds that the designation will facilitate the flow of traffic, promote public safety and maintain continuity of the state highway system, said Danny Perez with the Texas Department of Transportation. I-69 is designated concurrent with U.S. 59; therefore, signs for U.S. 59 will remain in place, said Perez.
