Construction Advisory for White Oak Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Project
Information from Harris County Flood Control District:

The Flood Control District is expected to resume construction on the final segment of the White Oak Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Project, which is HCFCD Project ID E100-00-00-E007, in August 2023. This remaining project segment of the White Oak Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Project spans from Hollister Road to Cole Creek.

Construction on this segment will include channel excavation, channel grading, and outfall pipe replacements. Road bridges, pedestrian bridges, and pipe bridges will have slope paving, channel lining, and rip rap installed to help protect the structures from damage and erosion.

Residents near the project area may begin to see increased construction activity around these waterways, which will include trucks and heavy machinery. Residents are urged to respect all warning signs as work crews move around the area. Trails in the project limits will remain closed for the duration of construction for the safety of the public and construction personnel.

Upon completion of construction on the White Oak Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Project, the Flood Control District estimates that most areas within the limits of the project area will see water surface elevation reductions of 0.64 to 2.49 feet for the 1 percent (100-year) flooding event.
As per federal grant requirements associated with this project, the White Oak Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Project also includes the implementation of recreational features to include the installation of hike and bike trails along the main stem, bypass channel, and around the detention basins within the federal project limits. Additionally, new hike and bike trail parking lots will be constructed adjacent to area detention basins.

The Flood Control District works to reduce flooding across the region and is committed to keeping residents informed. For more information on this project or other Flood Control District projects, please visit hcfcd.org/C-14.
