The Texas Department of Transportation has rescheduled the closure of all southbound lanes of the Interstate 45 bridge over Rayford/Sawdust Road due to forecasted weather conditions this weekend being too wet and cold to lay concrete.
The closure is now scheduled for 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25, through 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 28.
The work is being done to replace the bridge deck.

Rayford Road project construction continues
- Construction crews are working diligently to install the storm drainage system, which will be followed by road-widening work. Expect more barriers and lane closures as the storm boxes are installed and the road is completed.
|
|
- Crews currently are working just west of the Drainage District 6 (DD6) Bridge installing the final sections of underground drainage between the bridge and Wild Rose Drive. Once this crew completes this section, workers will begin working west from East Geneva installing drainage boxes toward the UPRR Bridge on the north side of Rayford.
- A second crew is prepping the right of way between West Hawthorne and the DD6 bridge in order to complete the new eastbound lane along that stretch.
- Crews also are milling and overlaying large sections of Rayford from Richards Road to Fox Run Boulevard. This work is being performed overnight. The milling is near completion and the asphalt overlay is scheduled to start Monday, Jan. 21.
- Crews have been installing drainage pipes along the new Aldine Westfield south of Rayford. This section of Aldine Westfield will not open until drainage pipes have been placed along eastbound Rayford from the DD6 bridge to past Gateway Baptist Church, the new eastbound lane on Rayford is completed across the intersection with Aldine Westfield and the traffic signals are working properly at that intersection.

Alternating Lane Closures as Needed:
- Eastbound and westbound temporary lane closures will occur from Richards Road to the Grand Parkway, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, for the duration of the project (There may be some Saturday lane closures for utility work).
Thank you for your patience while construction crews continue to work as quickly and safely as possible. We recognize that construction can cause inconveniences, and we appreciate your understanding during this process. Please follow all road signs, pay attention to barriers and watch for crew members in the right of way.
Plan ahead, stay alert and drive safely!

After approving contracts to rebuild the Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center, which was damaged during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack said he expects the center to reopen this summer.
The center, built in 2010 for $2.3 million along Spring Creek in Precinct 3 in South Montgomery County near the Grand Parkway, took on 4 feet of water as Hurricane Harvey pushed across the region. The hurricane, which was downgraded to a tropical storm when it hit Montgomery County, dumped close to 30 inches of rain in some areas. The facility sustained about $400,000 in damage. The center has been closed ever since.
