Project Hunting (Hunting Bayou Federal Risk Management Project)
Project Hunting (Hunting Bayou Federal Risk Management Project)
This virtual community engagement meeting is to discuss the next segment of Project Hunting, which will involve excavating approximately 300,000 cubic yards of soil from the Hunting Bayou and construct the next 2.5-mile channel segment, located between Highway 59 and the Homestead Stormwater Detention Basin. The project is scheduled to begin construction in Fall 2020 and is expected to be complete by Fall 2021.
The channel in this area will be widened and deepened, new stormwater outfalls will be constructed, and utilities will be adjusted to accommodate the new channel design. The existing bridges at Falls Street and North George Street will also be removed. The Harris County Flood Control District has coordinated with Precinct 1 Commissioner Ellis’s office to build new trails and connections as part of this project. Please note that during construction, many existing trails may be closed for safety concerns.
