Lake Houston Parkway Bridge final repairs underway
Lake Houston Parkway Bridge final repairs underway, to be completed in January
At its Aug. 13 teleconference meeting, the Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority and Tax Increment Zone # 10 (TIRZ) board of directors received an update on the status of the final repair project on the West Lake Houston Parkway Bridge. Dustin Hodges, Houston Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin’s north sector manager, provided the update in Martin’s absence. The $4.3 million project follows the completion of work done by Houston Public Works this spring and temporary repairs made last October, all of which resulted from damage caused by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017.
“The final repairs to the West Lake Houston Parkway Bridge are underway. They started Aug. 3 and they are repairing bents 25-28. They are projected to complete these repairs by Jan. 9 of this coming year. They have been maintaining two-way traffic all throughout the project. I think there are two weeks in October in which they have to shut down the pedestrian lanes on the north side of the bridge,” Hodges said.
