Road for the Future

Highway 87 Relocation Project

As part of the Port Arthur LNG project was developed, a 3.6-mile portion of Highway 87 between the Intracoastal Waterway and Keith Lake Pass was relocated away from its close proximity to the ship channel. The highway was rebuilt to Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) standards and reduces the risk of flooding on the roadway and provides a safer route to and from the Sabine Pass community. The Highway 87 Relocation Project represents a more than $140 million investment in the community.
