Follow the red brick road!... We’re starting to see what the end product of the overhead to underground conversion project will look like in the downtown alleys. We appreciate all your patience and understanding while we continue to make the Historic Downtown Conroe an attractive destination for our residents and visitors. We’re getting closer to the day when all the overhead lines and poles will be out of the picture. 🦺🚧

On behalf of the Engineering Department, we’d like to wish Matthew Williams a very happy birthday! 🎉

Halloween 2023 from your City of Conroe Engineering team!

Trunk Line Replacement - Stewarts Creek (2020-08) Ave M to Hwy 105 is substantially complete! This project consisted of rehabbing approx. 4100 LF of 48"inch trunk line from deteriorating concrete pipe to fiber glass reinforced polymer mortar pipe and 12 manholes. Our crew used bypass to continue services during construction. The Project was completed 2 months ahead of schedule. Swipe to see what a little hydro seed and sunshine can do!

City of Conroe Engineering has been busy with beautification projects throughout town!

Sidewalks play a vital role in city life. As conduits for pedestrian movement and access, they enhance connectivity and promote walking 🚶‍♂️. As public spaces, sidewalks serve as the front steps to the city, activating streets socially and economically.

Capital Improvement Project 2021-20 Sidewalks on Davis from Pacific to 10th St, is currently under construction and heads east from downtown. The new sidewalk will be ADA compliant 👩‍🦽 and will allow a safe means of travel for pedestrians.

🦺🚧⚠️ Please excuse our mess! Our Capital Improvement Project No. 2022-05 SSOI Section 8, is currently under construction, so please advise of construction equipment and open trenches. This project consists of sewer line replacement and rehabilitation.

PSA⛈ Please be advised of the following weather forecast. Remember, play it smart, play it safe. Whether driving or walking, any time you come to a flooded road, TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!

Strong to severe storms are expected to develop across SE TX this afternoon and tonight, along and ahead of a cold front. The main risks with these storms will be strong, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. Stay weather aware and weather prepared!

Have you ever noticed colored flags on the side of the road or on your neighbor's lawn and wondered what they meant?

Utility companies use temporary colored flags to designate where underground utilities are located. The purpose is to avoid accidents and disruption in services when anyone is working on or close to the buried utilities. The flags are placed by utility companies by request when work is being planned in any particular area.

Important reminder: When planning a project that involves digging, make sure to call before you dig!

The City of Conroe's Engineering team would like to wish you all a happy and safe Halloween.
