Getting around the Sugar Land area just got easier, thanks to the opening of the final extension of LJ Parkway to Commonwealth Boulevard.
The section, about a third of a mile, meets Commonwealth just north of Palm Royale Boulevard. The roadway allows travelers to access Austin Parkway, Sweetwater Boulevard and Lexington Boulevard without driving on Highway 6.
The 3.6-mile LJ Parkway, named after Johnson Development Corp. Founder Larry Johnson, is a main artery through Riverstone. It merges with Sienna Springs Drive in Sienna Plantation, another Johnson Development community, connecting with Sienna Parkway near the Fort Bend Parkway.
