Work on the Westheimer storm drainage, paving and streetscape improvements package is well underway with two concurrent phases of work occurring simultaneously.
Construction is now in full swing at the northwest quadrant of the Buffalo Speedway/Westheimer intersection. Work in this quadrant will continue for approximately two more weeks before reopening and shifting paving efforts to the northeast quadrant of the intersection. Following the reconstruction of the northern half of the intersection, crews will continue the new storm system on Westheimer, moving east toward concurrent work being completed between Bellemeade and Eastside.
New storm and water line installation between Bellemeade and Eastside is in the ground and crews have begun concrete preparation work. Once concrete is placed, the roadway will reopen and similar efforts will continue moving west.
Lateral storm lines are also being installed on Sackett and Bammel between Alabama and Westheimer. The scope on both streets involves excavation of one half of the roadway, placement of new storm sewer infrastructure and restoration of the impacted area. During construction on both streets, two-way traffic will be maintained although on street parking will not be available.
Storm sewer installation on Bammel is now complete as is the majority of the concrete placement. Work on Sackett can begin once Bammel is reopened in full, however, the contractor has identified an AT&T fiber conflict at Alabama and Sackett that could delay the start of this work further. There will not be any activity on Sackett next week. Look for further updates as the Sackett schedule is finalized.
