Northpark construction barriers

Best to Stay off Northpark in Snow

1/20/25 – As I write this, the snow has already begun. Some people are predicting up to 6″ tonight and tomorrow. To put that in historical perspective, Houston hasn’t seen that much snow since 1895.

The Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority sent out a notice tonight saying that construction on Northpark would be tabled until after the snow melts.

We can only hope drivers use as much common sense. Snow will make roads slick. Lanes make frequent changes around construction. And if you start to skid, you will likely run into a giant concrete barrier, not just a curb.

Large concrete barriers in construction zone will leave little room for recovery in a skid.

Also keep in mind, that even if you know how to drive in snow, it’s not part of the skill set for 95% of the motorists in Houston.

The City and County advise staying home and avoiding all travel until the roads clear. But if you must travel, please use routes other than Northpark Drive for your own safety.
