Conroe, TX -- TxDOT will be studying a nearly 14 mile stretch of State Highway 105 between Conroe and Montgomery throughout the rest of the summer and into the fall. The study will examine if the road needs to be upgraded to deal with increasing traffic from the area's ongoing growth.

TxDOT will examine both short and long-term solutions to help alleviate traffic congestion and reduce the number of collisions on the road. Car crashes on SH 105 have been steadily increasing over the last few years.
