The Montgomery County Commissioners Court approved funding $4 million to Harris County for the Precinct 3 share of a Gosling Road widening and bridge project during a Sept. 14 meeting.
According to a news release from Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack's office, the project is a joint effort between Noack and Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle's office, totaling $8.2 million.
The project will widen Gosling Road to a full four-lane boulevard between Creekside Forest Drive in Harris County and Gatewood Reserve Lane on the north side of the project in Montgomery County. Construction is anticipated to begin later this year. The estimated construction time is 14-15 months.
The widening includes the construction of a 1,817-foot bridge crossing over Spring Creek for the two new southbound lanes. The existing bridge lanes will become the two northbound lanes. The sidewalk and existing 8-foot shoulder along the northbound side will remain. The new southbound bridge will have a safety shoulder for motorists to access in case of vehicle breakdown.
