In July, CenterPoint Energy was onsite to start construction for the removal and replacement of their gas main along the west side of University Avenue from Sunrise Drive to Mississippi Street. They have completed the construction of the gas main replacement and are working on the restoration phase of their construction. City staff will be installing signs and barriers onsite to alert drivers of the changes to the one-way in the University Avenue West Service Drive section from Sunrise Drive to Mercury Drive. The City’s project is wrapping up the final details of the design and getting approvals for the project. Construction of the project is anticipated to start in the spring of 2024.
