What to expect - Drainage Tunnel Pump Station Segment

Construction impacts

Communities near the Drainage Tunnel drop shafts and Pump Station should plan for construction impacts through 2029. Crews anticipate working in these areas during the day, at night and on the weekends. This reduces the project schedule to a shorter duration, while nighttime work allows for fewer daytime traffic impacts.

The community should expect:

• Travel delays.
• Lane shifts, closures and detours.
• An increase in noise, vibration, dust and lighting (including during night work).
• An increase in traffic on frontage roads and neighborhood streets.
• Shifts in the schedule of activities due to weather.

Construction noise

TxDOT is committed to being a good neighbor while working in your area and is implementing the following measures to mitigate and minimize noise impacts during work:

• Temporary noise barriers.
• Community notifications.
• Work-hour controls.
• Proper maintenance of muffler systems.

What activities could take place that are noisy?

• Operating engines and generators.
• Loading and unloading of large trucks.
