City should move forward with 11th Street Bikeway
The 11th Street Bikeway project has had its detractors since the City of Houston first told the Heights neighborhood about it nearly three years ago.
Great News!
MKT Bridge Update:
Good news! The plan documents needed for the additional repairs to address damage caused by the August 2020 fire have received expedited approval by the City of Houston and Harris County Flood Control District. With this necessary step now complete, Houston Parks Board continues to move forward with repair work to this vital trail connection.
On-site construction on the bridge is expected to resume in March, after steel is fabricated for the repairs. Construction is estimated to be complete in late Summer 2022, weather permitting. The current detour will remain in place until construction is complete.
Thank you for your continued patience. We are working diligently to restore the bridge as quickly as possible!
