The Missouri City Sienna Parkway widening project, an intersection capacity improvement project along Sienna Parkway, is scheduled to begin in January, city ocials conrmed in an email to Community Impact. The project runs the length of Hwy. 6 to the north and McKeever Road to the south, and is expected to cost about $2.5 million. The proj- ect was delayed after a $4 million bid was rejected in September, after which city sta said they would go back and evaluate engineering options to reduce the project’s cost.

The alignment and construction estimate will be identied through the preliminary engineering phase, the spokeswoman said. In addition, preliminary engineer- ing design services to extend the project across the Brazos River and then to Hwy. 36 are under negotia- tions. No cost estimate is available for that project yet, and the alignment and construction estimate will be identied through the preliminary engineering phase.
