1. FM 2920, Business 249 Improvements

The Texas Department of Transportation is repairing and overlaying portions of FM 2920 and Business 249 in Tomball. The project includes adding a continuous center turn lane in downtown and removing on-street parallel parking. To account for lost parking spaces, the city of Tomball has created three public parking lots at Elm, Cherry and Fannin streets. Construction will occur overnight from 8 p.m.-6 a.m.

3. Hufsmith-Kohrville Road widening

The five-segment road widening project will expand the road from two to four concrete lanes between Spring Cypress Road and FM 2920 in Tomball. Segment 1, which widened Hufsmith-Kohrville Road from south of Spring Cypress Road to Hollow Glen Lane, was completed in late June. Segment 6 is in the design phase.

4. FM 1774 utility lines

Magnolia City Council approved the decision June 14 to apply for a 10-year loan through the TxDOT Infrastructure Fund for the relocation of utility pipes that conflict with plans for the FM 1774 overpass. Pending the approval of the loan, relocation of the utilities is expected to begin in August so construction can continue. The water, sewer, phone and fiber optics lines must be relocated for flyover construction to continue.
