"It appears the most significant delays impact our traffic signal and intersection improvement projects," said Pamela Rocchi, director of the Precinct 4 Capital Improvement Projects Division. "Material acquisitions were reallocated to restore existing traffic signal systems damaged by Hurricane Harvey and associated flooding. Additional materials have been reordered for the proposed traffic signal improvements."
Here are several projects affected by the delays:
Traffic signal at Cutten Road at Vintage Preserve Parkway
A traffic signal system installation project began Aug. 7 with an original completion date of Oct. 7. The new completion date is estimated to be Nov. 7.
Funding source: Harris County
Construction cost: $436,688
Traffic signal at Hufsmith-Kohrville Road at Holderrieth Road
Installation of a traffic signal system and left-turn lane began Aug. 14 with an original estimated completion date in the fourth quarter of 2017. Construction is now expected to be finished in December.

The project to upgrade a two-lane asphalt roadway to five lanes between Spring Stuebner Road and Grand Parkway, and to four lanes between Grand Parkway and Mossy Oaks Road, began Oct. 3, 2016 with an original completion date of Sept. 27.
