Vogel Creek Final Phase of Construction Has Begun
May 15, 2006
Construction on the final phase of the Vogel Creek Conveyance Improvement Project has begun. On May 15, contractors began surveying the creek in preparation for the third and final phase of construction.
Construction on the final phase will consist of further widening and deepening of the creek from White Oak Bayou to Arncliffe Drive, approximately 8,300 feet. In addition, the project calls for the replacement of four roadway bridges (three by the Flood Control District and one by the City of Houston).
The first phase of the project included partially enlarging the creek from White Oak Bayou to Cypress Grove Lane. The second phase consisted of partially enlarging the creek from Long Creek to Arncliffe.
1% (100-year) Floodplain Expected to be Contained
Once the project is complete, the 1% (100-year) floodplain is expected to be contained within the creek’s banks. In other words, Vogel Creek, which has a history of flooding, should be able to handle a 1% (100-year) storm. A 100-year storm has a 1 percent chance of occurring any given year. Prior to the project, the creek could handle roughly a 50% (2-year) storm, an event that has a 50 percent chance of occurring any given year.
Construction is expected to take 20 to 24 months, weather permitting, and will benefit the neighborhoods of Inwood Forest and Arbor Oaks.
