Tried it last night. Took 35 mins during non peak traffic to go from west park and grand parkway to I-45 . Lets see how long it takes during rush hour.

35 m from Westpark to I-45 is fantastic. I'd reckon more than an hour if you did Westpark-I-10-Beltway. I go to the airport often and it's rarely less than 45m even on good days.

Finally, I'm back

I'm 100% against toll roads, but Grandparkway is going to be very helpful for North Houston
It's a life saver for anybody traveling between The Woodlands and Austin

So does this mean you're now in favor of toll roads?

No, I'm not,
but it's better to pay 6 dollars to go from Exxon-Mobil (I-45 North) to the Cypress outlet mall, than pay $2-3 to go from Greenspoint to Jersey Village.

If I am coming up Hardy Toll Rd (from the south/airport), and I want to get on 99 headed west towards 290, how do I do it? Where are the connectors?

Thanks.

You owe me $5 for this,
Take the Hardy toll road almost all the way to the end, take "Northgate Crossing" exit as if you are going to go to Exxon-Mobil
After you go over I-45, turn South on the feeder road
Drive about a mile South and then turn West to get on the Grand Parkway

Your other option is to drive all the way up to Rayford-Sawdust, take the u-turn
drive South on I-45, pass the Hardy entrance and then take the Grand Parkway.
