The city of League City will make headway this year on two projects to improve the city’s mobility: the Grissom Road reconstruction and traffic signal improvements to League City Parkway.

Both projects are part of the city’s $72 million bond proposition passed by voters in May 2019, which included 10 mobility projects.

League City will break ground this spring on the reconstruction of Grissom Road, which will be widened between Abigail Lane and West NASA Boulevard from two lanes to a four-lane divided roadway. The $11.2 million project will wrap up in the first quarter of 2023, city officials said.

League City is also installing traffic signals and making turn lane upgrades at League City Parkway intersections. Improvements at Brittany Lakes Drive and Fennigan Lane were completed in December, city staff said.

Meanwhile, work on the Landing Boulevard and Magnolia Meadow Lane signals will begin in early 2022, and work on the West Bay Area Boulevard signal will begin in late 2022.

Additionally, the city will also continue acquiring land this year for the North Landing Boulevard extension project, which is also a bond project. The $66.4 million project, which is expected to break ground in 2023, will extend Landing Boulevard to the north at its end at FM 518 and connect it to the I-45 frontage road.

Two bridges are included in this project, including one which will go over Clear Creek, as well as bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.

The project is a partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation, which will serve as the manager of the project due to its use of $35.1 million in federal dollars; League City is paying for $31.3 million of the project.
