Mills Branch Drive to Get $1.2 Million Makeover Soon

11/25/25 – Houston City Council Member Fred Flickinger announced today that Mills Branch Drive will get a $1.2 million makeover from Northpark Drive northeast to the City Limit. See below.

Public Works will begin improvements on Mills Branch Dr. starting Monday, December 8, weather permitting, and expects to complete the project by Saturday, January 17, 2026.

Flickinger’s office says construction activities should take 40 days, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and that weekends will vary. Construction should not interrupt water or sewer service.

However, the project will include temporary lane closures. So please watch for flagmen and orange traffic cones that will help with traffic flow through the construction zone.

Also, expect some delays and leave extra time for commuting during construction. Finally, Flickinger warns of noise levels which will likely increase because of construction equipment in the area.

As always, pack your patience and look forward to a better ride in the future.

The Council Member says this project has no particular connection to the Northpark or Ford Road improvement projects. It just needed to be done. Regardless of the motivation, it should help with an evacuation should one ever become necessary due to flooding.
