U.S. 90 Interchange at Greens Bayou Project Advances By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
Since SER Construction Partners LLC began work on the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) $71.33 million U.S. 90 Interchange at Greens Bayou project in Houston (northern Harris County) in August 2024, crews have completed more than 40 percent of the project. Construction remains on target for a December 2027 delivery date. Crews are constructing two sections of U.S. 90 that include three travel lanes in each direction with median barriers and paved shoulders adjacent to the interior and exterior lanes with a bridge over Greens Bayou. There’s also an overpass at Purple Sage Road with sections of elevated approach roadway supported by nearly 9,000 linear ft. of mechanically stabilized earth-retaining walls (MSE).
The work zone covers 0.41 mi. of Purple Sage Road. “U.S. Highway 90 is a major east-west highway in the southern United States that traverses the city of Houston and the greater Houston area,” said Scott Ashmore, SER Construction’s senior project manager, “and this will complete the only two sections of the freeway inside Beltway 8 that have not been built to full freeway standards.” AECOM designed the project. “Prior to the start of construction, there were significant concerns regarding settlement analysis information provided in the project’s geotechnical engineering report,” Ashmore said. “As a result, TxDOT’s project design firm AECOM amended the project plans to prescribe additional ground improvements in those areas intended to have the greatest height of embankment placed atop the existing soils.
All the substructure work is complete at the Greens Bayou bridge site.
