DETAILS After evaluating traffic data, this section of Bingle Road will be converted from four lanes (two in each direction) to three lanes (one lane in each direction with a center turn lane). Bingle Road will not be reconstructed but will be restriped to the new configuration. Of note, a portion of this project is in Spring Valley Village jurisdiction (south of the Spring Branch creek to Winningham Lane). This is a joint effort between the City of Houston and Spring Valley Village.

General Project Information

What is the purpose of this project? The lane reconfiguration is intended to improve safety and traffic operations on Bingle Road. The existing four-lane, undivided configuration creates dangerous conditions for people traveling along the corridor. Three lanes with a center turn lane will allow turning vehicles to pull into a designated turn lane so that traffic can flow. This configuration also makes it easier for pedestrians to cross the street, because there are fewer lanes to navigate.

How long is this project going to take to complete? The project is estimated to take approximately one month once construction starts.
