Harris County Precinct 4 is partnering with the Texas Department of Transportation to fund intersection improvements along several major corridors in the Cy-Fair area, including North Eldridge Parkway and Spring Cypress Road.

Intersection improvements vary from the installation of new traffic signals, the addition of dedicated turn lanes and the installation of battery backup systems to keep signals running during power outages.

Construction is expected to get underway next summer. Improvements targeting the intersection of North Eldridge Parkway and FM 1960 will not be funded until fiscal year 2018-19, officials said.

“Precinct 4’s goal is to begin the bid process once the agreement between Harris County and TxDOT is executed,” said Pamela Rocchi, capital improvement projects director in Precinct 4. “These improvements will help mitigate congestion and improve safety.”

Additional improvements have been funded along Cypresswood Drive in Spring and Humble.
