Construction and Detours

Bayou Greenways Detours: The Houston Parks Board maintains an online map of construction projects affecting the Bayou Greenways along with detours as needed. Visit the map on their website [HERE] for detailed updates.

White Oak Bayou: The Harris County Flood Control District is working on the approximately 5.4-mile segment of White Oak Bayou between Hollister Street and Cole Creek, which include widening and modifying the flood channel. The White Oak Bayou Greenway will be closed between Cole Creek (south of Tidwell Road) and the Hollister Detention Basin during construction. The project is expected to be completed by Spring 2022.

We are coordinating with Houston Parks Board and Near Northwest Management District to create a safe detour for cyclists and pedestrians during construction. Outreach will begin soon, keep checking this page and our Let's Talk Houston website for updates on public meetings.
