FM 518 widening project in Pearland enters design phase
FM 518 in Pearland is set for major improvements, with plans to reconstruct and widen the roadway from four to six lanes along Broadway Street. About the project The widening reconstruction will also include a raised median, curb and gutter, sidewalk and bikeway, Danny Perez, Texas Department of Transportation’s lead public information o cer, said in an email April 13. The project limits are separated under east and
west segments with both in their design phase. Plans are completed at a 60% milestone and right- of-way acquisition and utility coordination are currently in progress, Perez said. The western segment, which spans from SH 288 to FM 865 is slated to be 100% planned by the beginning of 2027. The eastern segment, which spans from Old Chocolate Bayou Road to east of Halbert Drive is slated to be 100% planned by March 2028.
The cost Preliminary costs are about $187 million, funded 80/20 by federal and state sources, Perez said. Looking ahead Tentative letting, which is when the project will be opened for contractor bidding, for the west and eastern portions is slated for September 2027 and August 2028, respectively, Perez said. Construction for both projects will take about three years once the project is ready to let.
