Work on a portion of Walker Street in League City began in late January, and o cials expect it to take about nine months to complete. What you need to know The project is the third phase of the Walker Street improvements project, and will focus on the area stretching from Kessler’s Crossing at the UTMB Health facility’s entrance to FM 646, according to city documents. The cost of the project, which will total $3.5 million, is mostly funded from the tax increment reinvestment zone, or TIRZ, established along Walker Street, project manager Anthony Talluto said in an email. The details The work for Phase 3 will include signalizing several intersections, Talluto said in the email, including the northern Kessler’s Crossing intersec- tion, Victory Lakes Drive and Town Center Drive.
Work on turn lanes will also be included, Talluto said. Those include the left turn to enter the UTMB driveway and the left-turn lane to turn onto Kessler’s Crossing. The right- and left-turn lanes onto Victory Lakes Drive will also see work. O cials will adjust signals at the FM 646 inter- section from two mounted signals in the median to four new signals on the corners. The intersection’s new layout will also include two dedicated left and through lanes, as well as a dedicated right-turn lane, Talluto said. One of the left-turn lanes will extend all the way through the Town Center Drive intersection too, Talluto said. What else? While most of the work shouldn’t impact motorists much, work at FM 646 could create tra c issues, Talluto said. Vehicles coming out of the town center or going through FM 646 could experience congestion.
