MaxConcrete Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The FM 1960 bridge over US 290 is now open! I don't know exactly when it opened, but Saturday a week ago (10/31) it was still closed, and crews were busy doing the final finishing tasks. It's nearly two years since the official opening ceremony on December 15, 2018. Regular closures for pavement texturing on the entire length of main lanes was ongoing until around Spring 2020 (and very annoying). There is still work needed to be done at ground level of the FM 1960 intersection, but the project could be finally, completely done by the end of this year or early 2021.

zaphod Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 They need to do something similar to 1960 at 59 in Humble. The city of Humble and whoever owns the mall and surrounding properties would probably balk at such a proposal though. But there's ample space on the sides due to the huge ditches, and 1960 goes up to go over the railroad already. Having an elevated structure from the railroad overpass all the way to Townsen would speed up traffic and help with congestion at the freeway where Atasocita bound flows get tangled with flows in and out of Deerbrook Mall and vicinity.

j.33 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 For those curious, KPRC did a small report on the final touches before the project is completed. TXDOT did say it should be done by December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting overpasses on all major intersections will kill the businesses there and will not happen. It is sacrificing local people for the benefit of passers-by.
