The Harris County Flood Control District has temporarily reopened the bridge over Brays Bayou at Buffalo Speedway. The Flood Control District began coordinated construction November 19 to modify or replace three existing bridges over Brays Bayou with new higher, wider and/or longer spans that will improve the conveyance of stormwater along Brays Bayou in south central Harris County.

Persistent rainfall amounts of 5-6 inches resulted in overbank flooding and near bankfull conditions across Harris County continuing into Saturday. There is high water and street flooding in several areas throughout the county and flooding may have impacted some homes along Halls Bayou west of US 59.

Major flooding is expected in portions of Harris County along the West Fork of the San Jacinto River at near and east of US 59 and is likely to impact the following subdivisions: • Belleau Woods • Forest Cove • North Shore • Riverside Crest
