The data from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute show that Houston’s congestion persists stubbornly in the same spots where it has historically been most severe, even as development spreads farther from the urban core.

The worst spot in the state, according to the institute, is along Loop 610 West, between Interstate 10 and U.S. 59. This stretch of Loop 610 through the Uptown area – a bit more than 3 miles long – is, by a wide margin, the freeway segment where Texas drivers waste the most time: 1.18 million hours annually.
