Sims Bridges Construction Update - Schedule Change
Nov 19th, 2012
Today, the Harris County Flood Control District will close the two-lane southbound bridge that crosses Sims Bayou at Hiram Clarke Road, between West Orem Drive and West Fuqua Street. The bridge will be closed to all traffic for approximately five months as part of the Sims Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Project.
The transition did not occur on Nov. 17 as previously communicated. Please be aware that the transition will occur today, Nov. 19. During this third and final phase of construction, the two-lane southbound bridge will be closed and traffic will detour to the newly-constructed northbound bridge. Traffic will run one lane in each direction on the northbound bridge for approximately five months. (See attached map.)
Harris County Commissioners Court awarded the approximately $3.3 million Hiram Clarke Road bridges construction contract to Menade, Inc., in November 2011.
-----
The Flood Control District communicates construction and bridge closure schedules to the media and to the public in advance of each phase of the Sims Bayou federal project. Motorists are encouraged to be alert, to pay attention to all posted street and lane closures and to follow traffic detours in the area.
Please note that all closures are subject to change.
