IronTiger Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 20 minutes ago, h8s said: @Leonard and Purlpledevil, When I drove to work on 4/18 around 9 or 10 AM I saw the bayou flowing over the deck of the Heights bridges and was forced to drive over the Yale bridge. Luckily the Yale bridge was left open even though that was the original date it was supposed to be closed. Yeah, when I went to Yale Street on a Tuesday (by that time the waters had largely subsided, and the depressed part of I-10 was perfectly dry), the bridge had a lane closed off but seemed to be open at least northbound.

Leonard Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks h8s and Iron Tiger. Was wondering if the bridge was left open because they couldn't start working on it or what. Wondering how many weeks delay was built into the long schedule or if it's already one week behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Snapped a quick pic yesterday. Slowly getting there. Also making headway on the hike and bike trail extension. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks for the pics, Visitor. I would love a piece of that railing for my yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a map of the extension: I found the new trail yesterday - had to go "off-road" a bit as it's still under construction !! I actually rode down the section in your pics you just posted Edited June 11, 2016 by HoustonMidtown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm ready for it to be done, both the trail and the bridge. How much of the trail would you say is paved so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The connector piece to the Heights bike trail isn't done yet (that's where I went off-road) and I couldn't get past Yale as they were working on the bridge and trail and had it all blocked off - there was a small patch in between those two points that wasn't done also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitor Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks @HoustonMidtown. I try to look down in the bayou when i cross the shepherd/durham bridge to check the status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedmondson Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I am interested in the connection of this trail to the one that goes past Stude Park (MKT?) It is a separate project that appears to be ready to go but the COH GIMS website which has estimated construction start dates for it keeps moving it back every 3 months for the past year.

Visitor Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Anyone know more about the food truck kiosk site between yale and heights on east/west and white oak/EB feeder? There is a sign for it by Texas CRES. Would love to see that brush cleaned up and the urban campers removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) The new bike trail has been connected to the "old" trail - it's completed all the way to the Yale St bridge construction area Edited August 13, 2016 by HoustonMidtown 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheLoopFromNYC Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Coming along nicely... This project started shortly after the tax-day storm and I thought was supposed to take a year -- looks like they're ahead of that schedule! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitor Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Finishing a year ahead of schedule? While I would be elated (this impacts me daily) I'd be shocked if they finished by EOY. I'm no engineer or construction expert though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It could easily be finished by the end of the year if enough resources are thrown at it. After all, the MacArthur Maze connector in Oakland was rebuilt and reopened less than a month after it collapsed in a pretty spectacular tanker fire. Granted, there was a bit more urgency to reopening two major metropolitan freeway connector ramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 What I mean is, it looks like all that's left to do is the actual road surface and the railings, which should just be a couple days work. All the structural work appears to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
