Hazard elimination and safety on westheimer road

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Texas Department of Transportation $1.571 million on June 10, 2026, under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (CFDA 20.272) to eliminate hazards and improve safety on Westheimer Road in Texas.

The funded work includes installation of warning guide signs, a pedestrian hybrid beacon, safety lighting, a new pedestrian crosswalk, and new sidewalks and multi-use path at various locations along Westheimer Road from Westheimer Parkway through South Fry Road to South Barker Cypress Road. The period of performance extends through September 12, 2035, with place of performance in Texas. The Highway Safety Improvement Program funds data-driven, strategic approaches to reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned roads and tribal lands. TxDOT administers this formula grant as the designated state transportation agency and distributes federal highway safety funding to eligible sub-award recipients and local transportation agencies throughout Texas.
