Construction continued this week on Westheimer between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway. Last week, crews shifted work between the west side of River Oaks Boulevard and Eastside Street to the south side of Westheimer. Later today,  the contractor will also setup traffic control on the south side of the street between Kirby and Eastside.

The City has approved work in multiple locations, so the contractor is taking advantage and will be pouring from St. John's toward Eastside at the same time as he is prepping for concrete between Eastside and Kirby. There is no significant underground work in this section, only pavement replacement and storm inlets and leads.

Eastbound motorists should expect to narrow down to one lane just east of the Buffalo Speedway intersection and continue in that configuration through Kirby. 

Bissonnet Reconstruction:

Kirby to Buffalo Speedway

Work on Bissonnet between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway was stopped late last year due to a contractor dispute. Work began between the Kirby intersection and Dincans on the north side of the street. Upper Kirby retained a second contractor to complete work on this area. This contractor completed this work just prior to the holidays. 

The project was bid earlier this summer and the bid has been awarded to Reytec Construction Resources. Construction will begin on the remainder of the roadway August 21. Construction will begin moving west from Dincans on the north side of the roadway with storm sewer installation and new pavement. Existing medians will be preserved and traffic control will utilize existing median openings to shift traffic around the construction zone. Look for further updates as sequencing plans are finalized.

Chef Tim Love Catering will be back at Levy Park this weekend serving menu items from the Woo dshed Smokehouse, Love's Fort Worth mainstay. 

In 2018, Love will open the Woodshed Smokehouse just south of the Levy Park performance pavilion and the Love Bird (a food and beverage kiosk) just north of the dog park. Pop-ups like the one this weekend will offer Levy patrons a sample of things to come alongside park games and good tunes.
