Construction on the Spring Creek Greenway—which will include 12.5 consecutive miles of green space between Humble and Spring at build-out—was delayed due to heavy April rains.

When the new 2.5-mile parcel in Humble is connected, Lake Houston-area residents will be able to walk or bike from the Townsen Park and Ride to Dennis Johnston Park in Spring. Currently, a 10-mile stretch of the greenway connects Jesse H. Jones Park and Nature Center to Dennis Johnston Park.

The $13 million greenway was projected to be complete this summer before a bridge near Super Target on Townsen Boulevard collapsed, said Mike Howlett, special projects coordinator for Harris County Precinct 4. A new timeline will be announced when the bridge is redesigned.

“The flood situation caused massive erosion along the banks and the bridge collapsed,” Howlett said. “We’re now in the process of redesigning the bridge.”

Once this section of the greenway is completed, Harris County will construct trails eastward to the Bevil Jarrell Bridge, allowing Kingwood residents access to the project through its existing trail system. Upon completion, Kingwood residents will be able to bike to ExxonMobil in Springwoods Village.
