Overview

• The Houston City Council approved just over $1.1 million for the project in July.
• The bridge closed when TxDOT construction equipment broke loose during a winter storm and was carried downstream into area spans.
• TxDOT told ABC13 the Hogan Street span was not damaged, while transportation advocates say the incident exposed preexisting structural issues.
• Loose equipment also damaged a nearby Studewood bridge, and advocates warn the closures hinder trail access and neighborhood security.
