I-10/Energy Corridor Construction Blues

What a construction boom we are having here in the Energy Corridor. I enjoyed the rare opportunity of driving around the neighborhood today and noticed construction cranes on Dairy Ashford @ Eldridge near the Omni West Houston and Conoco-Phillips. This appears to be a new office space available for lease. My guess...it will fill up long before construction ends!

Conoco-Phillips also recently completed a multi-level parking garage, in addition to having a surface lot for their employees adjacent to the Conoco gas station.

In the WestLake Park area south of I-10, BP has started construction on a new parking garage after recently having constructed a new surface lot for their employees. Also, more retail areas are planned west of the BP complex. And supposedly in the works, BP plans on replacing their current daycare center with another BP building. Not to worry parents...a new daycare is on the way.

And certainly not to be forgotten...the Interstate 10 (I-10) construction project. Currently core areas of construction span from the Energy Corridor (I-10 @ Highway 6) all the way to the 610 Loop.

Drive carefully in the area. I'll try to add traffic links as I have time.

Enjoy the boom (while it lasts...said sarcastically by a long-time O&G veteran.) Cheers! Terre
