Upper Kirby Construction
Pavement Complete-Focus Shifts to Pedestrian Amenities 
  
Westheimer Reconstruction: Kirby to Shepherd

Pavement has now been placed at both the Revere and Argonne intersections. Main lanes are now complete. 

Crews were also active on the north side of Westheimer at Dickey removing a 10'X16' section of concrete to install a missing section of waterline. Once this work is complete, Westheimer between Kirby and Shepherd is 100% paved. 

Sidewalk work on the south side of Westheimer continued this week and will remain underway over the next several weeks alongside placement of pedestrian lighting and streetscape amenities. 

Landscaping and back of curb amenity installation will continue through February.

Look for further updates as the project progresses.

Bissonnet Reconstruction: Kirby to Buffalo Speedway

Utility duct banks have been constructed on Bissonnet between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway and are awaiting utility transfers. Roadwork is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2016.

Look for further updates as this project is finalized. 

Shepherd Reconstruction: Westheimer to US 59

The Upper Kirby District is preparing to begin design on the drainage and pavement improvements project on Shepherd between Westheimer and US 59 over the next several months. This construction will provide storm drainage improvement, new pavement, utility relocation and complete streetscape and pedestrian improvements. 

Construction will likely follow Westheimer work in the 2017/2018 time frame.

The Upper Kirby District has Moved Offices


Over the holidays, Upper Kirby District staff began the move from its longtime home
at 3015 Richmond to 3120 Southwest Freeway. 

The new offices are located just east of Buffalo Speedway and just west of the Girl Scouts building on the north side of US 59. 

The new District office can be found in Suite, 102--immediately adjacent to the building lobby. Thank you for your patience through the transition.
