Two upcoming road projects on North Main Street will impact the UHD Community beginning March 1.

The separate-but-related projects will have significant impact on the University community for the next several months, said Mary Torres, Director of University Business Services.

Houston's Daly Street, and the Hernandez Tunnel on North Main Street will be undergoing major restoration work creating traffic issues on the north end of campus.

Daly Street

On Friday, March 1, City of Houston contractors will begin major repairs to Daly Street (see map), which will require alternating lane closures on Daly. These repairs are in preparation for the Hernandez Tunnel project.

• Through-traffic will be maintained at all times, and contractor personnel will facilitate traffic control for the expected 7-to-10 day duration of this work.
• Daly Street is expected to return to normal service by Monday, March 11.
• During the Daly Street work, North Main Street will remain open for regular traffic.

Hernandez Tunnel

The Hernandez Tunnel restoration is scheduled to begin on Saturday, March 16.

This restoration project will require the complete closure of North Main Street for an expected 60 days. During this time, all vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic will be diverted from North Main Street to Daly Street via Trentham Street and Brooks Street.

It's recommended that the UHD Community should familiarize yourself with this route prior to the North Main Street closure. Also, exercise caution while traveling in these affected areas, and allow extra time to arrive at your destination.
