About Us

Rayford Road Safety and Mobility Project

Wow! There is a lot happening on Rayford Road!

Crews are currently pouring concrete for the bridge deck on the Union Pacific Railroad overpass and anticipate this work to be complete by early summer.

Once work is complete on the bridge deck for the UPRR overpass, crews will continue working to expand the DD6 bridge over the creek between Wild Rose Drive and Aldine Westfield Road.

Crews have also begun work to extend Abbey Boulevard for access to Rayford Road once the UPRR bridge is complete.

Utility relocations are close to complete and underground storm sewer installation on Rayford Road will resume early summer.

Lane Closures:

The center turn lane is closed between W. Hawthorne Drive and Wild Rose Drive in an effort to expedite utility relocations, storm sewer installation and pavement widening with curb and gutter.

Alternating Lane Closures as Needed:

East and westbound temporary lane closures will occur from Richards Road to SH99, Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the duration of the project (there may be some Saturday lane closures for utility work).

For additional information, please visit our website: www.precinct3.org/rayford-road/

Woodlands Parkway Widening (Forestgate to Kuykendahl)

This project consists of the addition of a third through lane along east bound Woodlands Parkway from 800’ north of South Forestgate Drive to the Kuykendahl Road intersection. The third lane will have a concrete curb and gutter, and an open ditch section along the right of way. There will be traffic signal improvements at South Forestgate Drive and Lake Woodlands Drive intersections.

Currently the third lane addition is open during the day from Lake Woodlands Drive to Kuykendahl Road, with the exception of the eastern right turn lane into the shopping area.

The storm sewer line has been recently constructed on the north end of the project and there is a small amount of curb and gutter left to be added. These were left off to accommodate the movement of the heavy equipment. The contractor is finishing the open ditch grading and excess earthwork removal along the whole project length.

There are ADA features currently being constructed at the Lake Woodlands Drive intersection, leaving only the signal work to be performed at N. Forestgate Drive. Once the roadway work is complete, the entire project can be opened to traffic, with the contractor only having to provide seeding in the newly constructed open ditch section.

The traffic signal mast arm extension at North Forestgate will be installed separately after the road is opened, with temporary traffic control measures briefly in place.

Woodlands Parkway Widening (Grogan's Mill to IH-45)

Woodlands Parkway will be widened from 6 to 8 lanes just west of IH-45 to 0.5 miles west of Grogan’s Mill Road.

It adds one full lane in each direction in addition to right turn lanes to provide better mobility along Woodlands Parkway.

South County Mosquito Abatement

Spring is here, which means that mosquitoes are waking up and making their presence known. Much more than a nuisance, mosquitoes are a potential risk to your family’s health and well-being. This is why Commissioner Noack’s office operates the South County Mosquito Abatement program. Our goal is to help residents protect themselves and their families from mosquito-borne diseases such as the West Nile virus and the Zika virus.

Our team monitors the local mosquito population for disease activity and stands ready to conduct treatment wherever necessary. We also provide one-on-one advice about breeding sites around your yard during free site evaluations.

While our team is dedicated to keeping everyone safe from mosquito-borne disease, our efforts can only take us so far. We need everyone’s help in fighting mosquitoes. You can help the cause by eliminating standing water in and around your home. Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, so if you dump it out, they’re out of luck! Also, make sure that you and your family wear insect repellent every time you go outside. Studies show that this is the most effective way to protect yourself from these diseases.

If you are interested in more information or would like to set up a free site evaluation, please call us at 281-364-4203. Stay safe and enjoy the beautiful weather!
