Addicks, Houston the original Addicks-Howell Road was paved over during the re-routing of present-day Highway 6, the northern most stretch still exists just south of its intersection with Interstate 10. Other roads that follow this convention include Addicks-Fairbanks Road (present day Eldridge Parkway north of Interstate 10) and Addicks-Clodine Road (most of which was abandoned after building of the Barker Reservoir). Perhaps the most interesting road name in the Addicks area was and is Jackrabbit Road. And, yes, it was so named because of the plethora of jackrabbits that once lived around and often darted across the narrow, two-lane road. Jackrabbit Road
