The big picture
At a June 23 meeting, Katy City Council unanimously approved a $9.7 million construction contract with Sequeira Civil Construction, LLC for the Katy Hockley Road widening project from Morton to Clay roads.
The project will widen the existing two-lane asphalt roadway to a four-lane undivided concrete roadway, per agenda documents.
Other project elements include:
- Constructing concrete sidewalks along one side of the road
- Adding street signage and pavement markers
- Installing underground storm sewer boxes and drainage inlets
- Upsizing existing water lines
Remember this?
The city previously awarded a $3.43 million contract to Sequeira to widen Katy Hockley Cut-Off Road last July, with the goal of improving the roadway between Morton and Clay roads.
The project, which aimed to widen the two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided concrete road with a curb, was funded by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County and is expected to be completed this summer, City Engineer David Kasper previously said in an email.
Looking ahead
Construction is expected to begin work in early September, with anticipated completion in October 2026, Kasper said.
