Tamarron Crossing project
During its Aug. 23 meeting, Fort Bend County Commissioners Court approved a $44,000 invoice for engineering services for a county mobility project at Tamarron Crossing with plans that are now 95% complete.
The $2.1 million project, using funds from a 2020 $218.2 million mobility bond approved in November 2020, is designed to construct the county’s portion of Tamarron Crossing—the northern portion—which extends from Tamarron Trace to FM 1463, according to county documents.
The project includes the design and construction of two lanes of a four-lane divided boulevard with a concrete curb and gutter roadway. Meanwhile, the southern half of the road has already been constructed.
Construction is anticipated to start in the first quarter of 2023 with a five-month construction period, Fort Bend County Engineer Ike Akinwande said.
