Montgomery County Road Project Updates

THE WOODLANDS, TX - Commissioner James Noack provided an update on road projects in The Woodlands and Montgomery County.

Rayford Road-Birnham Woods Drive Improvements east of Grand Parkway continue

Project Update: The Rayford Road-Birnham Woods Drive widening, intersection improvement and signalization project started at the end of October. D&W Contractors has completed most of the excavation along Rayford Road for construction of the two new eastbound lanes between Waterbend Cove and Birnham Woods Drive. D&W continues to make progress on pouring concrete for the new lanes and has almost completed all concrete work at the Rayford Road-Cochran Park Trail intersection. Residents should expect additional detours in the coming months when concrete pavement work is completed at the other intersections along the project. Bridge work just east of Spring Trails Park Drive will be starting soon.

Scope of project: The project will widen Rayford Road to four lanes from approximately 40 feet east of Waterbend Cove to approximately 400 feet east of Birnham Woods Drive. A new concrete roadway will be constructed on the south side of the existing Rayford Road lanes to create the two new eastbound lanes. The existing road will be for the two westbound lanes along that stretch. Left-turn lanes also will be added for eastbound and westbound traffic at most of the intersections.

The construction includes an additional bridge for eastbound Rayford Road traffic just east of Spring Trails Park Drive.

The project also involves constructing a traffic signal at the Rayford Road-Birnham Woods intersection and widening Birnham Woods Drive to four lanes from approximately 600 feet north of Rayford Road to approximately 600 feet south of Rayford Road. All four Rayford Road-Birnham Woods Drive intersection approaches will have a dedicated left-turn lane.

Contract length: 360 calendar days

Kuykendahl Road widening project underway

Project Update: WadeCon LLC started the Kuykendahl Road widening project Jan. 11. The contractor has been clearing the approximately 1.5-mile stretch for the new northbound lanes and bridge. Excavation, embankment and ditch work will commence as right-of-way preparation continues.

Scope of project: The project will widen Kuykendahl Road from a two-lane half boulevard to a four-lane full boulevard from Lake Woodlands Drive to Research Forest Drive.

Project design includes construction of two 12-foot-wide northbound vehicle lanes from north of Lake Woodlands Drive to south of Bay Branch Drive with an 8-foot-wide outside shoulder along the new northbound lanes. There will be a new bridge constructed over Bear Branch for the northbound lanes that have the shoulder as well as a walkway, mirroring the existing bridge.

The two existing lanes will become the southbound lanes once construction is completed.

Contract: 365 calendar days

Precinct 3 crews hard at work!

In an effort to better serve you, Precinct 3 recently migrated to a new work order system! Precinct 3 is working on fine-tuning the new reporting system so there will not be any work order summary reports until next month. The new work order system will allow us to provide more detailed and customized reports to the residents. We are excited to debut some of these reports in next month's newsletter.

Between Jan. 14, 2021, and March 2, 2021, Precinct 3 crews opened and completed 364 work orders. These are your tax dollars hard at work.
