Ongoing Projects

1. The city of Friendswood broke ground in January on its Winding Road reconstruction project between Riverside Court and Melody Lane, and expects to reach completion near the end of April. The reconstruction project will replace 2,133 feet of residential roadway and will be funded through bond proceeds. Voters approved a $24 million bond referendum in 2013, which included about $7.7 million for road repairs, according to the city.
Estimated timeline: January-April

Estimated timeline: March-June 

3. Beginning in May, contractors will reconstruct Orange Street, widen the road from 25 to 33 feet and put in new concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks and improved drainage between Hwy. 35 and Schleider Drive in Pearland.
Estimated timeline: May 2017-May 2018
