Westpark Drive

Exciting news – the project is complete! As we wrap things up, please be aware that traffic control measures might be in place, and a few final restoration touches are still underway. We truly appreciate your patience and cooperation during this last phase!

We’re excited to provide an update on the Westpark Drive project. As of Summer 2024, we’ve made notable progress:

• CenterPoint has completed the installation of new streetlights and removed the old ones.
• The contractor has addressed the sidewalk gaps previously occupied by the old streetlights.

We’re now preparing to schedule the project acceptance inspection. Weather permitting, we expect this inspection to occur in approximately two weeks, provided there are no unforeseen issues.

Thank you for your continued patience and support. We’ll keep you informed with the latest updates and next steps as we move forward.

The project team is working diligently to ensure timely completion. We're thrilled to announce that new streetlights will be installed in August 2024. Please note that recent inclement weather has caused some delays. The gaps in the sidewalk where the poles are being removed will be filled and completed soon. Tree planting has been ongoing for the last month. The remaining trees will also be planted, and the project will be substantially complete by the end of August.

This project is approximately 83% complete. The waterline and storm water system are 99% complete. Just a few touch ups to the storm system to reach 100% completion. All the eastbound pavement has been completed. Westbound pavement rehab and widening is approximately 70% complete. Total sidewalk and shared-use path are approximately 80% complete. Traffic signal installations are 80% complete. Possible delay in street light completion but still on schedule for project completion.

The project is approximately 67% complete. The waterline and storm sewer are 99% complete, and all the concrete pavement on the new eastbound has been completed. Total sidewalk and shared-use path at 50% complete. Traffic switches were supposed to be done last month, but an unforeseen storm sewer pipe conflict delayed the completion of the Wilcrest Dr Intersection. Traffic will be switched to the new pavement on the south (eastbound) part of the road, and the Contractor will begin working on the north part (westbound) of Westpark starting the second week of October. On this side of the project, only the existing pavement from S Dairy Ashford to W Houston Center will be completely replaced, and only pavement rehabilitation will be done for the rest of the project near Gallant Bend. We are expecting a faster construction to this portion of the project for it is not as complex as the south portion, which involved water line and storm sewer installation. No change to the targeted completion date.

The project is approximately 60% complete. The water line and storm sewer are at 95% complete, and all concrete has been poured for the new east bound pavement. Anticipate traffic switch to the new pavement in the next two weeks. The contractor will start working on the north part of Westpark Dr. (West Bound). This portion of the project will only involve pavement rehabilitation and not complete road replacement. No change to the targeted completion date.

The project is approximately 35% completed in place. A contractor is working on completing the installation of water lines and continuing the installation of stormwater lines and paving work.

This upcoming Monday, 3/20/2023 we are going to be crossing Shadow Place Drive to install the drainage boxes at the median. This is anticipated to take two days, depending on weather conditions and any unforeseen circumstances. We are going to first shut down the southwest entrance on the first day, and on the second day the southeast corner based on Contractor’s plan.
