The $13 Billion Plan to Rebuild Texas’ Most Challenging Highway

Interstate 45 is one of the most important highways in Texas — and one of the most challenged. Built for a very different era, the corridor now carries hundreds of thousands of vehicles each day, serves as a critical hurricane evacuation route, and faces increasing risks from congestion and flooding. In response, Texas launched the North Houston Highway Improvement Project — a multi-decade, $13 billion effort to rebuild I-45 while keeping one of America’s largest cities moving. This video explores: • Why I-45 reached its breaking point • How engineers are rebuilding a major highway under live traffic • The challenges of flooding, evacuation, and urban growth • The community and planning debates surrounding the project • What success would look like — and what’s at stake if it fails Atlas Documentaries examines the hidden systems that shape modern life — from infrastructure and engineering to cities and megaprojects. 🔔 Subscribe for more documentaries on megaprojects, engineering, and infrastructure. ⏱️ Timestamps (Chapter) 00:00 Rebuilding a Highway Without Stopping a City 00:45 Interstate 45: Built for a Different Era 03:05 Why Reconstruction Became Necessary 05:10 The North Houston Highway Improvement Project 08:20 Engineering Under Constraint
