East Houston Capital Works Project Underway
Another round of Houston headaches are on the doorstep. Capital works project HWMP2019 is now underway along parts of East Houston. The final phase of the crosstown big dig. A bunch of heavy-duty equipment is now primed for imminent action. All the regulars are in attendance – traffic cones, metal barriers, a Komatsu backhoe, and some piping.

For the next three years (but likely five), the city will tear up the road, replace the infrastructure of water piping, and cap it off with a “green” median. And today is essentially day one. In addition to the ongoing test pits being punched, roadwork will begin immediately with the installation of a 20-inch water main on the south side of the street between Essex and Pitt.

Flyers are now posted in doorways and light posts in the immediate vicintiy, alerting residents of the project and parking regulations for the duration. Work will occur daily between 7:00 am and 3:30 pm.
