Pearland OKs design contract for Hughes Road Pearland City Council approved a $1.43 million contract to prepare construction plans for widening Hughes Road between Pearland Parkway and Pearland’s city limits. What you need to know The work calls for widening the road from two lanes to four, along with other elements, such as curbs and gutter, a sidewalk, a raised median and stormwater system, and traffic signals at the Hughes Road and Alexander Ridge Lane intersec- tion, documents show. The contract, which is with Ardurra Group Inc., shows roughly half the funds tied to the contract will go to design. Much of the remainder will go to additional services, such as surveying, and various protections. Manvel is almost done converting several streets in town from gravel to asphalt and will continue work on a number of roads throughout the city going into 2025, according to documents from the city. The details Once the roads being converted from gravel to asphalt are wrapped up, the city will move to its second phase, which will consist of asphalt over- lays across 17 different roads beginning in January.
Both phases in total will cost around $3.4 million, City Manager Dan Johnson said Nov. 18. What’s next? The third phase will likely consist of side- walks and signals but won’t begin until the late summer, according to a timeline from the city. Officials anticipate having around $6 million to spend on these projects. City Council could consider a plan for the third phase in January or February.
