Work on a new bridge is underway over Spring Creek as part of a project to widen Gosling Road to four lanes between Creekside Forest Drive and Gatewood Reserve Lane. The project began as a joint effort between Montgomery County Precinct 3 and Harris County because it includes areas within both counties. Due to Harris County boundary shifts, Gosling Road is now in Precinct 3, which will complete the project started by Precinct 4.

"The contractors will remain the same, but construction oversight will now be the responsibility of the Harris County Engineering Department Construction Programs Division Precinct 3 representative and inspectors," said Jeannie Peng, senior communications specialist for Harris County Precinct 3, in an email. "Our goal is to complete the projects within the contract duration."

The project will create two 12-foot lanes in each direction as well as the two additional lanes for a 1,817-foot bridge over Spring Creek. Northbound Gosling Road will be restriped at the intersection with Creekside Forest for two lanes and a left-turn lane. The project will take 14-15 months to complete, according to Montgomery County Precinct 3.
