Research Forest Drive Set to Reopen Tonight

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- San Jacinto River Authority and Montgomery County Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack’s Office completed a walkthrough of the Research Forest Drive road repairs Monday afternoon and plan to reopen lanes to through traffic by 8 tonight. Minor work involving laying sod and cleaning the area may occur throughout the evening but will not disrupt traffic.

Research Forest Drive eastbound lanes between Technology Forest Drive and New Trails Drive had been shut down since a water pipeline burst underneath the pavement Sept. 13. The SJRA and its contractors have worked diligently over the past month to repair the water line and repave the road, completing the project earlier than anticipated.
