The Harris County Flood Control District has received feedback from residents concerned about the blinking red lights included as part of the proposed traffic control plan for the closing of the Scarsdale Road bridge. Accordingly, we are revisiting the traffic control plan with the City of Houston to make sure it is appropriate for the type of work we are doing. While work is occurring on the channel under the bridge, the bridge will need to remain closed, but we are working to minimize the disruption to traffic.
At this time, the Flood Control District anticipates the earliest the bridge will close is October 1, 2021. As soon as the date and the revised traffic control plan are finalized, we will communicate with the community on the updated plan. The Flood Control District appreciates your patience and understanding with these construction inconveniences for this flood risk reduction project in your area.
