As part of the on-going capital improvements projects, the City of Baytown is reconstructing North 4th Street. This project will require the closure of the intersection of North 4th and East James for paving and utility adjustments. D&W Contractors, Inc. has been awarded this contract and will complete the construction at the direction of the City of Baytown’s Engineering Department.
Work is expected to begin November 8th at 7:00 a.m. with complete closure of the intersection at North 4th Street and East James. The intersection is expected to re-open on November 20th around 6:00 p.m.
Since this closure affects the traffic surrounding Ashbel Smith Elementary School located at 403 E. James Street, the contractor will provide traffic safety and signage along the construction route to safely guide drivers around the construction area. School officials are aware of the closure and are working with City staff and the contractor to accommodate this roadway improvement.
We urge all citizens to keep safety in mind when traveling in this area. The City appreciates your patience during this construction period as we continue to work to improve the mobility for our citizens
