HOUSTON – Council Member Fred Flickinger would like to make Kingwood area residents aware that Houston Public Works will begin panel replacements and curb repairs on Kingwood Drive starting Monday, July 29, weather permitting. The scope of work includes replacing damaged concrete panels and curbs along the east and westbound lanes of Kingwood Drive from Timber Shade Drive to Willow Terrace Drive. The project cost is $134,000 and is funded through Council Member Flickinger's Council District Service Funds.

Crews will be mobilized on-site beginning Monday, July 29 and the project is anticipated to be completed by Friday, August 30, weather permitting. Construction activities are expected to take place Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

As 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 the project will require one lane closure at times. Businesses and residents will have access to driveways and sidewalks at all times and may experience an increase in noise levels due to trucks and equipment in the area.

For more information, please contact the District E office at (832) 393-3008 or via email at districte@houstontx.gov.
