West Lake Houston Parkway Repaving Project Scheduled

The City of Houston has scheduled a repaving project for West Lake Houston Parkway from Dec. 6-27, 2021. This is a bit off-topic for a flood blog, but it affects thousands of readers. This follows several previous repaving and bridge repair projects on West Lake Houston Parkway. The following is based on a press release by Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin’s office.


Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin would like to make Kingwood area residents aware Houston Public Works will start a panel replacement project on West Lake Houston Parkway beginning Monday, December 6, weather permitting. 

The scope of work includes replacing damaged concrete panels along the north and southbound lanes of W Lake Houston Parkway from Kingwood Drive to Magnolia Cove Drive. 

The cost of the project is $38,200 and is funded through Mayor Pro Tem Martin’s Council District Service Funds.

Crews will mobilize on-site beginning Monday, December 6 and should finish the project by Monday, December 27, weather permitting. 

Construction activities are expected to take place Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Please stay alert for flagmen and orange traffic cones that will help traffic flow through the construction zone. The project may require a one-lane closure at times, but two-way traffic will be maintained at all times.

Businesses and residents will have access to driveways and sidewalks at all times, but may experience an increase in noise levels.

For more information, please contact Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin’s office at (832) 393-3008 or districte@houstontx.gov.
