The beltway was designated as part of the state highway system, reusing the Loop 8 number, on May 7, 1969. Because the proposed route had been referred to locally as the Outer Belt, and Harris County used similar nomenclature for segments of the route, the designation was changed to Beltway 8 on July 31, 1969.<sup id="cite_ref-TxDOT_minutes_July_31_1969_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TxDOT_minutes_July_31_1969-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is the only <a href="/wiki/List_of_state_highway_loops_in_Texas" title="List of state highway loops in Texas">state highway loop</a> to bear the "Beltway" designation. </p><p>The beltway's construction was done in a piecemeal fashion, beginning with the opening of West Belt Drive and Roark Road, two surface streets, in the mid-1970s.

However, Harris County could not afford to build and maintain a freeway from its general fund. </p><p>In September 1983, county voters approved a referendum by a 7–3 margin to release up to $900 million in bonds to create two toll roads, the <a href="/wiki/Hardy_Toll_Road" title="Hardy Toll Road">Hardy Toll Road</a> (basically a reliever for <a href="/wiki/Interstate_45" title="Interstate 45">I-45</a> between downtown Houston and <a href="/wiki/Montgomery_County,_Texas" title="Montgomery County, Texas">Montgomery County</a>) and the Sam Houston Tollway, which would be the main lanes of the Beltway. Shortly after the referendum, the Harris County Commissioners Court created the HCTRA to administer the construction and operation of the new road system. Then-County Judge Jon Lindsay is generally credited with shepherding the referendum from its infancy to its passage, along with the implementation of the plan for the roadway. During the public information campaign leading up to the referendum, the county government published brochures stating that the toll roads would become free once their construction costs had been recouped, but the tolls were not removed after the tollways were paid off.<sup id="cite_ref-Dolcefino_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dolcefino-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1989, <a href="/wiki/The_Bangles" title="The Bangles">The Bangles</a> performed at the opening of the segment of Beltway 8 between I-10 (Katy Freeway) and US 290.<sup id="cite_ref-Gonzalesbangles_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gonzalesbangles-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On July 7, 1990, a ceremony, called Road Party II, took place for the opening of the section of Beltway 8 between I-45 (North Freeway) and US 290, the final segment.
