The entirety of the roadway along Westheimer from 

 paved and is open to traffic. Crews will be closing the cu

rs to complete tree installations, irrigation work and brick paver

 feet in length as work is underway and to be removed at the of each work day. 

Utility poles are still in place on Westheimer awaiting some work on private properties that will allow connections to power to be established underground or from the backs of the property. Once these efforts are completed, the poles will be removed and the sidewalk panels placed where they have been blocked out. Private utility work is currently awaiting City permitting and, once approved, should take about two weeks to complete.

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. 

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.
