Sugar Land, TX – The city of Sugar Land will host a meeting on May 22 where staff from the Texas Department of Transportation will be available to discuss their upcoming U.S. Highway 59 bridge project over the Brazos River.
The information meeting is planned from 6:30-7:30 p.m., at Sugar Land City Hall, 2700 Town Center Blvd North.
The three-year project is scheduled to begin later this month and will address public safety concerns caused by river erosion.
Existing abutments (the points where the bridge ends) will be relocated away from the future threat of erosion. The work will occur in several phases and require alternating closures of the U.S Highway 59 main lanes and frontage roads over the Brazos River.
The city will share TxDOT’s lane closure notifications, and on-site digital message boards will be used to update motorists. Residents are asked to be mindful of work crews, expect traffic delays, and, when possible, avoid the area to prevent traffic congestion.
