Pavement rehabilitation on the northbound lanes of Lexington Boulevard from Austin Parkway to Hwy. 6 will be completed by Dec. 15, according to the city of Sugar Land.

The $1.2 million construction project is part of Sugar Land’s annual street rehabilitation program, which allows the city to perform upkeep on roads.

The repairs on Lexington began in August after being initially halted due to coronavirus-related material shortages.
