SUGAR LAND, Texas (KTRK) — Drivers in the Sugar Land area should be aware of road closures and traffic delays as TxDOT resumes construction along US-59/I-69 over the Brazos River in phase three of the project, city officials said.
The northbound 59 feeder is now closed between Riverbrook Drive and Festival Boulevard, near the water tower, the City of Sugar Land said.
Sugar Land officials are telling drivers to expect heavier traffic on the 59 northbound main lanes and frontage road during peak travel times, especially near the intersection of 59 and 99.
For drivers who use Riverbrook to access the 59 northbound, officials say you should follow posted detours and expect delays during peak travel hours.
According to city officials, businesses at River Park Shopping Center and Greatwood Professional Center will remain open throughout construction. Drivers should expect traffic patterns around the centers to temporarily shift, but access will be maintained, officials said.
The City of Sugar Land also said that Brazos River Park and Crown Festival Park will be accessible via University Boulevard during construction.
Officials said this third phase of the project will address erosion near the bridge.
The City of Sugar Land said it is working closely with TxDOT and region partners to help minimize disruptions and keep the community moving safely throughout construction.
The northbound frontage road work is expected to be complete in March 2027, with overall project completion in December 2027, according to officials.
