Bissonnet Storm Drainage  and Street Reconstruction:

Work on Bissonnet between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway continued this week with roadway and utility improvement activities through about 400 feet of roadway just east of Buffalo Speedway.  Crews are currently excavating the roadway and installing the new waterline.

Concurrent work is in progress on the north side of Bissonnet between Dincans and Wakeforest. West bound traffic has been relegated to a single lane in this area. Over the next month, crews will be installing new storm systems and restoring the pavement  with the goal of opening up the roadway between Kirby and Wakeforest by the holidays. New landscape and irrigation on the south side of Bissonnet  between Kirby and Wakeforest will resume after the first of the year.

One lane in either direction is being maintained through the construction zone, however there will be no on street parking available. Over the next few months work in this area will include installation of new water lines, improvements on storm drainage, and improvements  on roadway  lighting.
