Bissonnet Storm Drainage
and Street Reconstruction:
New pavement is in place and intersections completed at Dincans and Wakeforest (pictured).
Beyond this intersection, west bound traffic is reduced to a single lane at Belmont Street as is the east bound lane after Belmont Street. Please be wary of construction personnel and equipment as construction crews are currently excavating and installing underground utilities in these areas.
At the west end of the project near Buffalo Speedway, crews have installed the new waterline and will soon begin repairing the roadway and driveways at the BBVA and HEB parking lots.
Eastside Street Utility and Streetscape Improvements:
Eastside Street, south of Richmond Avenue, is progressing at a steady pace. The southbound lane adjacent to Levy Park and adjacent sidewalks have been removed with new pavement scheduled for mid-December. New water lines in this area were connected last week.
This week the construction teams are installing new storm drainage piping adjacent to Levy Park (pictured)
. Please be courteous to other drivers and obey construction zone speed limits in this area.
Notice: Eastside Street between Westheimer and Alabama will be closed to through-traffic from November 27, 2017 to February 24, 2018.
