The project began as a joint eort between Montgomery County Precinct 3 and Harris County Precinct 4; however, due to redistricting, Gosling Road is now in Harris County Precinct 3, which will complete the project. The project will create two 12-foot lanes in each direction as well as the two addi- tional lanes for a 1,817-foot bridge over Spring Creek. Northbound Gosling Road will be restriped at the intersection with Creekside Forest Drive for two lanes and a left-turn lane.
