Sims Bridges Construction Update – Croquet Lane Bridge reopens to traffic

Sims Bridges Construction Update – Croquet Lane Bridge reopens to traffic

On July 16, the Harris County Flood Control District reopened the Croquet Lane Bridge that crosses Sims Bayou, just west of South Post Oak Road. The Croquet bridge has been closed to all traffic since April 2012. The Flood Control District appreciates the community’s patience during the bridge closure project and regrets any inconvenience caused to residents, business owners and motorists in the area.

With the completion of the Croquet bridge, only two bridges that cross Sims Bayou remain under construction. Construction on the Hiram Clarke Road Bridge is expected to be complete in September 2013, and construction on the South Post Oak Road Bridge is expected to be complete in December 2013.

-----

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. For more information on the Sims Bayou bridge projects, including details on lane closures, major traffic switches, local detours, the anticipated schedule for construction on the remaining bridges, and the opportunity to sign up to receive regular e-mail updates, please visit the Sims Bayou Roadway Bridge Construction webpage at www.hcfcd.org/simsbridges or call the Sims Bayou Bridge Construction Information Line at 713-684-4107.
