The Woodlands Road Project Updates

THE WOODLANDS, TX - Commissioner James Noack provides an update to two road projects in The Woodlands.

Woodlands Parkway/Robinson Road at I-45 Project

Project scope: This project improves signalization and traffic movement entering and exiting the I-45 frontage roads at Woodlands Parkway and Robinson Road. It includes the reconfiguration of the cloverleaf at the I-45 frontage roads and addition of traffic signals. Robinson Road also will be widened to four lanes from 350 feet west of the intersection with Patsy/Westwood roads to 550 feet east of the intersection.
The project started in March and is expected to be completed by early fall.


Current work: The traffic signals on the east and west side of the bridge over I-45 are now operating. This has signified the change in traffic patterns for motorists exiting and entering the northbound and southbound frontage roads of Interstate 45.

Major traffic pattern changes with the signalized intersections:

Eastbound traffic heading toward Oak Ridge North on east side of I-45 turns left at signal to access northbound I-45 frontage road.

Westbound traffic heading toward The Woodlands on the west side of I-45 turns left at signal to access southbound I-45 frontage road.

Northbound traffic on I-45 frontage road turns right before the bridge to access Woodlands Parkway and Robinson Road.

Southbound traffic on I-45 frontage road turns right before the bridge to access Robinson Road and Woodlands Parkway.

The permanent signals at Robinson Road-Patsy Lane/Westwood Drive also are operating.

Contractor Main Lane will continue working on the widening of Robinson Road west of Patsy Lane heading toward the I-45 access. In addition, the contractor continues to remove pavement along the northbound and southbound frontage road by the I-45 bridge while adding pavement on the northwest and southeast access roads off of the frontage road.

Lake Woodlands Widening Project

Project scope: The project calls for the widening of Lake Woodlands Drive from Interstate 45 to Six Pines, including an additional through lane in each direction and improved turn lane movements at intersections.

The project started in April and is expected to be completed by late summer or early fall.
Current Work: All pavement work has been completed. Signal work continues, and striping and painting have started.
