A section of frontage roads (later part of Hillcroft Avenue in Houston) was constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s (date unknown) south of the proposed Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway), south of Harris County adjacent to the Chasewood and Willow Park II subdivisions in northeast Fort Bend County.

Although the 1979 cancellation has ended TxDOT's highway proposal, Fort Bend County had an interest in the roadway project since 1984.

After fulfilling prudent feasibility studies and careful planning, Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority (FBCTRA) broke ground and began the construction phase in July 2003.

Harris County Commissioners' Court approved an approximate five-mile (8 km) extension of the proposed Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road project.

[3] However, as of October 2020, the Harris County Commissioners Court put the Fort Bend Toll Road extension to I-610 on hold.

[4] In July 2008, cash collection was discontinued on the Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road (maintained by FBCTRA).

[5] Cash collection (in the form of exact change) continued on the HCTRA maintained segment, the Fort Bend Toll Road until May 2017.
