Overlay Scheduled for Hamblen Road and Sorters-McClellan Road
 
Houston, TX  - Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin would like to make residents aware Houston Public Works will begin the Hamblen Road and Sorters-McClellan Road Asphalt Overlay Rehabilitation Project on March 24, 2020, weather permitting. This process includes milling off an approximate 2 inch layer of old asphalt, repairing the base as needed, spraying tack coat and overlaying 2 inches of new asphalt surface pavement. The project is expected to be completed by late June 2020, weather permitting.

The project will be completed in 2 phases. Crews will begin with the overlay on Sorters-McClellan Road, which is anticipated to take approximately two weeks to finish. Once that phase is complete, crews will begin the overlay on Hamblen Road, which is expected to be finished by late June. Construction activities are expected to take place between 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Residents and business owners should be aware that individual driveways may be inaccessible for short periods of time at various times throughout the project, however, the Contractor will work with the owners to provide driveway ingress/egress as best possible.  Once construction begins on the street, crews will notify residents and business owners 72 hours in advance to ensure they are aware of the changes.

A s 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 temporary lane closures are expected.   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.
