Beginning in August, the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) in coordination with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership (BBP) will be completing major repairs along Buffalo Bayou, between Shepherd Drive to Sabine Street, to contain erosion and bank failures caused by Hurricane Harvey. While this work along Buffalo Bayou is not classified as a flood damage reduction project, the repairs are necessary to stabilize the channel and prevent further erosion and damage to the channel.

The Harris County Flood Control District (District) has begun construction and has closed the Ardmore Street Bridge at Brays Bayou today to replace the existing four-lane bridge with a new higher, longer and wider bridge that will increase the conveyance of stormwater along the bayou in south central Harris County.
