Ongoing construction of the US 90A bridge aimed at improving traffic flow.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced overnight closures for six weeks as construction on the US 90A bridge in Fort Bend County begins. These closures, impacting traffic between Cunningham Creek Boulevard and Ellis Creek Boulevard from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., aim to improve traffic flow. The project is part of a larger investment addressing congestion and enhancing road infrastructure amidst the region’s growth.
A lengthy construction project is entering a new phase in Fort Bend County. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced that there will be overnight closures for the next six weeks as work continues on the busy intersection of US 90A and the Grand Parkway.
As part of this significant undertaking, TxDOT is constructing a new US 90A bridge to improve east and westbound traffic flow at Grand Parkway. The nightly closures will affect US 90A eastbound and westbound traffic between Cunningham Creek Boulevard and Ellis Creek Boulevard from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. until October 24th, with the exception of Sundays. During these hours, all mainlanes and frontage roads will be closed, necessitating detours through key corridors, particularly in the New Territory area.
For those looking for alternative routes, traffic can detour through US 59 to the south. The ongoing construction project is part of a broader $47 million plan aimed at addressing the issue of traffic congestion that affects commuters traveling between Sugar Land and Richmond through Fort Bend County.
The expected completion date for this bridge project is set for the end of next year, underscoring the county’s commitment to enhancing road infrastructure amid a rapidly growing population. In addition to this project, several other initiatives are currently underway across Katy, Fulshear, Richmond, and Rosenberg aimed at improving roads and safety in the community.
Commissioner Vincent Morales has highlighted the importance of these projects for the community’s future. In addition to the US 90A bridge, the expansion of the Grand Parkway service road is also in progress, which will include improvements to various intersections and frontage roads. Looking ahead, more frontage road projects are slated to commence in 2026, contributing further to the region’s transportation network.
The county and state are actively coordinating multiple construction efforts to ensure effective traffic management during this period of substantial development. There are also additional road projects in planning stages that will tackle issues related to flooding, enhance drainage, and improve safety features.
This initiative is a crucial part of Fort Bend County’s strategy to keep pace with its growth and enhance connectivity for its residents. Not only does it aim to mitigate congestion on major highways, but it also emphasizes the overall expansion and safety of the local roadways.
As motorists navigate through this period of construction, they are encouraged to plan their trips accordingly. Using alternate routes can help alleviate potential delays, allowing for smoother travel experiences while the new bridge takes shape.
In summary, the upcoming overnight closures on US 90A are part of a larger effort to improve traffic flow and infrastructure in Fort Bend County. With multiple projects underway and others planned for the future, residents can expect progress in road safety and efficiency that meets the needs of a growing population.
