HOUSTON – Council Member Fred Flickinger would like to make residents aware that Houston Public Works will begin a drainage improvement project along Falvey St. and the intersection with Woodbine St. starting TOMORROW, Monday, November 18. The scope of work includes removing and replacing storm sewers, installing new inlets, removing and replacing sidewalks, and milling and overlaying the road. The project cost is $257,600 and is funded through Houston Public Works Dedicated Drainage & Street Renewal Fund (DDSRF).
The project is anticipated to be completed by Tuesday, March 18, 2025, weather permitting. Construction activities are expected to take place Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and contractors may work on weekends as needed.
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. Two-way traffic will always be maintained. Businesses and residents will always have access to driveways and may experience increased noise levels due to trucks and equipment in the area. Impacts to water or sewer are not anticipated. Should a disruption need to occur, affected residents will be notified in advance.
For more information, please contact Council Member Flickinger’s office at (832) 393-3008 or districte@houstontx.gov.
