Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Provides Update on Road, Sidewalk, and Signal Projects

Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Provides Update on Road, Sidewalk, and Signal Projects

June 05 2025

Fort Bend County Precinct 1 officials convened on May 19, 2025 to review the latest progress on more than 20 local infrastructure projects, ranging from road widening and bridge replacements to sidewalk upgrades and traffic signal installations. The updates cover both mobility bond initiatives and Grand Parkway (SH 99) improvements, with many projects located in or near Fulshear and Katy.

Major Road Construction Projects

 
Greenbusch Road (Gaston Rd to Westheimer Pkwy)

This $8.4 million reconstruction project replaces an aging asphalt road with a concrete upgrade and a new bridge. Construction began in January 2025 and is scheduled for completion in June 2026. A new traffic signal at Spring Green and Pine Mill Ranch is included.

Huggins Drive (FM 359 to Katy Fulshear Road)

The $6.6 million project features a partial replacement and partial new roadway, along with new utilities. Construction began in April 2025, with expected completion in April 2026. Right-of-way acquisition is complete, and pipeline relocation agreements are in progress.

McCrary Road (FM 359 to East-West McCrary)

This 4-lane boulevard project started in April 2024 and is expected to finish by September 2025. All right-of-way has been acquired, and utility relocations are nearly done. A temporary traffic signal is already in place at FM 359.

Brandt Road (McCrary to Mason Rd)

Phase 1 is complete, and final work on Phase 2 is underway. A street lighting agreement was approved in April 2025.

Sidewalk and Safety Improvements

 
Sidewalk Enhancements

New 5-foot-wide sidewalks have been added in multiple locations across Precincts 1 and 4. Phase 1 is complete, and Phase 2—focusing on Katy Flewellen and Falcon Landing Boulevard—is in the closeout stage following construction completion.

Pin Oak Road Turn Lane

This southbound right-turn lane project at Katy Flewellen Road is nearly finished, with minor striping work pending.

Willow Lane Speed Control

Chicanes have been installed, and additional traffic calming is under review based on resident feedback.

Signal and Intersection Projects

 
Cinco Ranch Blvd Signals

New signals are planned at Falcon Landing Blvd and Cinco Terrace Dr. Only the Falcon Landing signal will proceed at this time due to meeting engineering warrants. The Cinco Terrace design will remain on hold.

Candela Heights @ FM 359

The traffic signal is in the design phase, with updates from TxDOT and consultants expected soon.

Intersection Safety Improvements:

A countywide traffic signal and safety improvement package is moving forward with a $247,000 proposal submitted in March 2025.

Grand Parkway (SH 99) Project Updates

Multiple southbound and northbound frontage road projects along the Grand Parkway are in various stages:

  • Westheimer to Cinco Ranch (SBFR): Driveway permits are underway. Property owners are involved in TxDOT permit steps.
  • FM 1093 to Fry Road (SBFR): Construction is progressing, with mainlane completion anticipated in May 2025.

Design Projects Along Grand Parkway Include:

  • Segments between Bay Hill Blvd, Westheimer, Fry Rd, and Cinco Ranch on both SBFR and NBFR, with various letting dates between December 2025 and September 2026.
  • Utility coordination and land acquisition are in progress, with some parcels moving toward eminent domain by June 2025.

Bridge and Access Road Projects

 
Pecan Creek Road Bridge

The bridge replacement received its Notice to Proceed (NTP) on June 2, 2025, and will be constructed in a single phase.

Ginter Library Access

A multi-phase collaboration with landowner Dr. Glen Ginter to construct road access to a new library is advancing. Phase 2 is complete, Phase 3 is preparing to be advertised, and Phase 4 will require a TxDOT permit for a right-turn lane.
