HOUSTON - Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin would like to make Huffman area residents aware Houston Public Works will begin an intersection improvement project at E Lake Houston Parkway & FM 1960 on Monday, September, 12. The scope of work includes the addition of a dedicated right turn lane for southbound traffic, an audible pedestrian signal system, mast arm traffic signal poles, pedestrian ramps, and crosswalks.
The cost of the project is $850,000 and is funded through the Dedicated Drainage & Street Renewal Fund. This project was initially submitted for consideration back in 2016 and Mayor Pro Tem Martin is thrilled to finally see this project come to fruition bringing necessary safety and traffic improvements.
The project is anticipated to be completed by Friday, June 23, 2023, weather permitting. Construction activities are expected to take place Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
As a result of the construction activities, please be aware of flagmen and orange traffic cones that will be put in place on-site to help with traffic flow through the construction zone as the project may require occasional lane closures. Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times. Businesses and residents will have access to driveways and sidewalks at all times. Residents may experience an increase in noise levels due to trucks and equipment in the area.
For more information, please contact Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin's office at (832) 393-3008 or districte@houstontx.gov.
