Pro Tip: Use Hardy Toll Road to Bypass I-45 Gridlock
I-45 North Freeway is one of Houston's most congested freeways per Houston TranStar data. The Hardy Toll Road parallels I-45 and provides a faster toll alternative for IAH-bound drivers from downtown Houston. Use TrafficVision cameras on both I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road to compare conditions.
