Thousands of drivers cross the bridge over the Brazos, and with TxDOT recognizing the extensive damage over the years, action is being taken to prevent any further danger.
The Brazos River Turnaround underneath U.S. 59 in Sugar Land is getting repairs as part of a 38-month construction project to prevent erosion.We've seen our southeast Texas rivers rise repeatedly, flooding roadways.
ABC13 has visited the Brazos many times to show you the erosion. TxDOT is now on the cusp of a 38-month project to reconstruct part of the bridge to keep it stable. Just weeks later, in late May, the Brazos River Turnaround was underwater again due to several rounds of heavy rain."Around 2016, they permanently closed that turnaround out of concern for public safety," Hadley said.
The damage is so bad that TxDOT said it's time to rebuild a part of it. The state agency is launching a $53 million U.S. 59 Bridge Extension project, moving the highway bridge and frontage roads north by 1,000 feet.
