Plum Hollow Drive roadwork scheduled

July 8th, 2019

Houston Public Works crews will begin a panel replacement in the Clear Lake area, along Plum Hollow Drive, from Brook Forest Drive to Hickory Knoll Drive, on Monday, July 8. The work is expected to be complete within 30 days, weather permitting, Houston City Council Member Dave Martin said in making the announcement.

The scope of work includes replacing several panels along the roadway. Crews will be on site from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

As a result of the construction activities, motorists are asked to be aware of flagmen and orange traffic cones that will be put in place on site to help with traffic flow through the construction zone as temporary lane closures are expected. One lane will remain open during the repairs process.

Residents will have access to driveways at all times, and may experience an increase in noise levels due to trucks and equipment in the area.

For more information, please contact Council Member Dave Martin’s office at 832-393-3008 or districte@houstontx.gov.
