Work on Green Tee Bridge in Pearland to start in January
The construction of Green Tee Bridge in Pearland will begin in January—once the city removes a conflicting utility line from the area. The gist Green Tee Bridge will replace the existing Coun- try Club Drive bridge, which is aging and function- ally obsolete, said Danny Perez, Texas Department of Transportation public information officer. The plan will improve driver safety, according to the city of Pearland’s website. While TxDOT will be responsible for the bridge’s construction, the project’s $2.5 million cost will be a split of federal, state and local funds, according to the city of Pearland’s website. The scope of work for the bridge replacement includes: • Demolition of the existing bridge • Constructing new bridge structure • Removing existing pipes attached to the existing
bridge structure TxDOT officials estimate the project will take one year from its start date to complete, Perez said. By the numbers TxDOT accepted the Country Club Drive bridge replacement in July 2019 with a funding split of 80% federal funds, 10% state funds and 10% city of Pearland funds. Design for the bridge began in 2021 and was completed in 2022. In 2022, TxDOT awarded Aranda Brothers Construction Co., Inc. as the general contractor. One more thing A temporary traffic signal will be placed just southwest of Blackhawk Boulevard, at the inter- section of Scarsdale Boulevard and Bogey Way. The area will serve as an alternate route during the time that construction is going on, Perez said.
