Sam Houston Tollway, also Sam Houston Parkway and Beltway 8, is a Texas state highway located in Houston. In transportation terms, Beltway 8 is defined as a beltway or orbital motorway. It is the second of three highway loops circling the city, with Interstate 610 being the inner loop and Texas State Highway 99 (Grand Parkway) being the outer loop. The Grand Parkway is still under construction. Beltway 8 and Sam Houston Parkway is the name given to the frontage roads, while the Sam Houston Tollway is the name for the tollway that is located in the highway's median.
