An upcoming construction project on the Hwy. 59 bridge in Sugar Land will cause various detours for drivers during its three-year construction.
The details
The Texas Department of Transportation’s Hwy. 59 bridge project will not only address ongoing erosion of the Brazos River bank but also will improve area mobility and upgrade infrastructure, TxDOT Public Information Officer Kristina Hadley said in an email.
The $53 million project will lengthen the Hwy. 59 bridge and both the northbound and southbound frontage road bridges 1,000 feet north over the Brazos River and remove the damaged turnaround permanently.
