COMMUTER ALERT:
 Temporary Lane Closures Monday & Tuesday
Nights Mark Start of SHP Lane Widening
Construction has started
on a long-awaited freeway project that will widen the Sam Houston Parkway in
both directions between I-45 and Hardy Toll Road. Once completed, the
construction project will help ease congestion on the highly-traveled roadway
and make it easier to travel along the corridor.
The concrete
barriers marking the beginning of construction will be placed along the inside
shoulder of the main lanes at Imperial Valley. On Monday, Dec. 7, one inside
lane of eastbound traffic will be closed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. to lay the
barriers. On Tuesday, Dec. 8, one inside lane of westbound traffic will be
closed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Once the concrete barriers are in place, the inside
shoulder approaching Imperial Valley Bridge will be closed, but all main lanes
of traffic will remain open.
The project is comprised of two
components. The first is widening the main lanes and adding two lanes at the
Imperial Valley Bridge, as well as re-striping the remaining roadway to
accommodate five lanes of traffic. The second component is reconstruction and
expansion of the frontage roads, widening them from two lanes to three lanes.
Some lane closures are expected when work begins on the frontage roads. The
Greenspoint District is already working with the City and TxDOT to establish
alternate routes and detours in order to minimize inconvenience to area
motorists.
The project is expected to take two years to
complete.
Once completed, the new road infrastructure will
include new sidewalks, new storm drainage system and other amenities. The
project is a collaborative effort between the Harris County Toll Road Authority
(HCTRA) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
