The second section from Sienna Parkway to Hwy. 6 will become a three-lane road with concrete ditches on the sides to assist with erosion and drainage.<\/p>\n<p>Odreman said the project will be completed in two phases, with the first phase requiring a full lane closure from Sienna Parkway to Ramble Creek Drive for 90 days. The second phase will entail only one lane of traffic to be closed in the same section of road as the first one.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it is proposed that 87 trees will be removed on county-owned land adjacent to the existing road that will help drainage, slope paving, erosion control and roadway stability. However, trees will not be removed from resident properties.<\/p>\n<p>The funding<\/p>\n<p>The project will be funded by Fort Bend County\u2019s $865.6 million mobility bond, which was approved by voters in November 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/communityimpact.com\/houston\/katy-north\/election\/2023\/11\/07\/final-results-show-voters-favor-fort-bend-countys-8655m-bond-propositions\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Community Impact<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Construction is estimated to cost $11.7 million, assuming a 15% contingency, but the real amount is not going to be known until it is bid out, Odreman said.<\/p>\n<p>What they\u2019re saying<\/p>\n<p>During the Q&amp;A portion of the meeting, several residents asked questions about potential traffic flows, noise pollution, tree removals and the reasoning behind certain processes.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Procter, president of the Oakwick Forest homeowners association, said Trammel Fresno borders his neighborhood&#8217;s subdivision and that they have houses on the road as well, which is \u201cisolated by design,\u201d and they can only access either Trammel or Hwy. 6 directly. After speaking with officials, he said he felt resolute about the project\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the designers answered the questions to the best of their knowledge,\u201d Procter said. \u201cI don\u2019t think there were any issues about being forthright of the way things are being done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fort Bend County Precinct 2 Commissioner Grady Prestage\u2014who also attended the meeting\u2014said he was appreciative of the feedback he received from the community on what he described as a \u201cvery dangerous\u201d road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy that they showed up and voiced their concerns,\u201d Prestage said. \u201cSome of it we can do something about, some of it we can\u2019t\u2014trees in the right of way, they got to go. Some of the other things that were not mandatory or necessary, we might not do. We try to be sincere and listen to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n<p>As the design phase nears completion, Odreman said once gas lines are moved from the road, bids can be sent out with plans to begin construction in late summer. The project has an estimated completion of early 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Missouri City\u2019s Trammel Fresno Road will undergo multiple phases of reconstruction, officials confirmed at a March 24 public&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[15541,112,114,113,107923,107924],"class_list":{"0":"post-239966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fresno","8":"tag-fort-bend-county","9":"tag-fresno","10":"tag-fresno-headlines","11":"tag-fresno-news","12":"tag-missouri-city","13":"tag-trammel-fresno-road"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
