I wonder if this is part of the IH 45 realignment? They are doing some major pier drilling here. Maybe new bridges over IH59/69.

The new bridges will be longer, but I think the new length will come from the other side where more ROW will be taken.

A lot of crumbling roads/utilities have been upgraded in Midtown/Downtown over the past 6-12 months; this is probably part of that work. It's crazy how much they have accomplished with the daily car count reduced due to covid.

Unloading some huge piping, looks to be 4'-5' width about 9 to 10 pieces so far, only saw one with a flange on it still on a truck. Wanted to talk to somebody but they were all busy. Tried looking up the contractor but they don't have a website but found several links about them. Farmer Foundation Drilling. I wonder if those are water pipes?

Discovered what this project is all about. 72in. water main replacement from Crawford to Mt.Vernon in Montrose. This is going to right through my Audubon Place neighborhood eventually.

The Crawford to Mt. Vernon project appears to start at Hamilton and Tuam, about a mile away from the subject Hamilton and Clay intersection.  Is there reason to think they are connected?

Houston Public Works finally answered my question about whether the 72" water line in downtown will connect to the line in Montrose. Yes it will and then it will connect to points west of Mt Vernon to Richmond Ave @ Greenbriar St.
