ONGOING PROJECTS

1. Hughes Ranch Road widening

Contractor Triple B Services received notice to proceed with construction in January on the Hughes Ranch Road project in Pearland.

2. Max Road expansion

Construction on this project, originally to tie up in January, has been delayed by recent rains, with landscaping and other minor items remaining. Max Road from Hughes Ranch Road to Broadway Street in Pearland has been upgraded to four lanes, divided, with curb and gutters, including storm sewers, outfalls and detention. The city said it may review speed limits, as drivers are causing accidents after crossing the bridge over the ditch.
