heights_yankee Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 just got this from another Heights mom today:Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, crews reconstructing the 610 North Loop between Ella Blvd and I-45 will be shifting traffic on to the eastbound lanes of the freeway, and onto the outside shoulder.I just spoke to the TXDOT central engineers office and inquired as to what the project entails and the duration. Here is what I got.This project is the resurfacing of 610 North Loop between Ella and 45! The footprint of freeway, including the bridges and frontage roads will stay the same. The whole project will last at LEAST until December 2011!!1st phase, which begins with this weekend's closure, will take about 7-8 months. They are switching the traffic on the north-side to the far 3 lanes. This will allow for resurfacing of the middle section of the freeway. During the 2nd phase, this same traffic-flow will switch to the middle 3 lanes, allowing the closed area to be resurfaced. Again, this will take 7-8 months. The final phase will be the south-side traffic moving to the center lanes and then resurfacing those final 3 lanes. The project also includes resurfacing of frontage roads. There was some unclarity as to when the frontage roads would be worked on - something about it depending on the flow of the rest of the project. Also, all closures are subject to change due to inclement weather. My suggestion is to STAY AWAY FROM 610!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC Texan Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Any comments out there about the movement of the house at Heights and 11th? I had heard that a strip center was going to be put in on the front of the lot, but I recall the developer said that the house would be restored. This appears to be another classic moment in real estate development history in Houston. What is the word for it when thousands of people invest in a neighborhood only to see its its historical main thoroughfare turned into a commercial strip?

SaintCyr Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 There is already a thread on here somewhere over this. They nixxed the stripmall and are going to move the house, split the lot and build a new house on the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
