Officials with the Texas Department of Transportation said work will start in May on a resurfacing project along an 8.5-mile portion of Hwy. 6 in the Cy-Fair area. The project will involve the resurfacing of roadways to eliminate cracks and potholes developed over time. Benefits include a smoother driving surface and a safer roadway for drivers, according to TxDOT Public Information Officer Emily Black.

The project will span from Hwy. 290 to Park Row, just north of I-10. The first section of work will extend from Hwy. 290 to Aspenglenn Drive, and the second will stretch from Aspenglenn Drive to Park Row. While the project went out for bid in August, the contract has been suspended due to nighttime temperatures remaining below 70 degrees. The type of asphalt being installed requires higher nighttime temperatures to set properly.

“Within this corridor, ... TxDOT is developing a schematic for a grade-separated intersection for [Hwy.] 6 at Clay Road as well as looking at intersection improvements for the intersection of [Hwy.] 6 at FM 529; however, those are in the very early schematic development phase, are not yet funded, and will likely not go to construction (if funded) for many years,” Black said.

Timeline: May 2022-second quarter 2023
