Construction on a project to fully reconstruct Montrose Boulevard from Allen Parkway to West Clay Street is moving forward, according to a Nov. 14 update from the Montrose Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone management.

The big picture

The project will turn Montrose Boulevard into a four-lane concrete roadway with a median, sidewalks, trees, signals and a pedestrian bridge as previously reported by Community Impact. The whole project will cost $17.9 million and is being funded through the Montrose TIRZ. Officials with the Montrose TIRZ sent the final design plans for the first segment of the project to Houston officials in late December and started construction in March with an anticipated completion date in the second quarter of 2026.

What's new?

According to a news release from Montrose TIRZ, a new set of construction improvements will run Nov. 16-22 as Montrose Boulevard is reduced to one lane in each direction from West Clay Street to Allen Parkway.


Over the next two weeks, the Allen Parkway frontage roads westbound will have an ongoing single-lane closure, while the eastbound frontage roads will only have intermittent single-lane closures at the Montrose Boulevard intersection.

The West Clay Road intersection at Montrose Boulevard will also be closed once again through Nov. 22.
