Upcoming projects

Intersection improvements at Pearland Parkway and Barry Rose

Median landscaping on Kingsley Drive and Kirby Drive

Project: Kirby Drive was built by the developer and expanded by the city, but due to limited funding, the city only expanded the roadway. Kingsley Drive was built by the county, and landscaping was not included. The project will address landscaping, and both medians will include trees, plants and irrigation to bring them to city standards.

Update: The project is currently in the design phase with construction slated to begin in December.

The project will also include relocating a portion of the city's sanitary sewer force main for the installation of a second bridge.
