Starting Monday, crews will begin their work at the crossing in the 1900 block of Burleson Street, between Benton Drive and Blue Bell Road. Work will consist of removing the existing corrugated culverts, guardrail, and roadway. A new bridge structure will be added, along with a new roadway, to improve the current issues caused by historic floods in 2016 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
Public Works Director Dane Rau said these improvements will make this area safer for the general public and allow for better flow during major rain events.
The project is contracted to Angel Brothers Enterprises for $1.07 million.
The closure is expected to last approximately four to five months, if weather conditions are favorable. The project is expected to complete in mid-May.
A detour around this construction area will use Lounge Road, Business 36, and Blue Bell Road. The road will be closed to thru traffic, but local traffic may enter for access to residences from the south side of the construction area.
Residents are encouraged to call the City of Brenham at 979-337-7200 with any questions regarding the closure.
