Woodlands Parkway Expansion Project

According to Vice President of Engineering & Construction for The Woodlands Development Company, Dan Kolkhorst, P.E., from East Panther Creek Drive to Kuykendahl, road construction has begun on one additional lane on the eastbound and westbound sides of Woodlands Parkway in The Woodlands, Tx. Construction has begun on the eastbound lane.

Kolhorst states, "The shoulder will be replaced with the new lanes of roadway, similar to what was done during the widening of Woodlands Parkway east of Grogan's Mill Road. We maintained the forested look of Woodlands Parkway during that expansion project, and we plan to preserve as much natural vegetation as possible during this phase of the project as well."

Simultaneously, two contractors will be building the sections of the roadway. Hassell Construction Company, Inc. will be constructing the section from East Panther Creek to Gosling, and South Coast Construction Company, Inc. will build the section from Gosling to Kuykendahl. Temporary lane closures will be required from time to time during construction, which is projected to be finished in the first half of 2010.
