⚠️Pearland Parkway at Broadway (FM 518) Intersection Improvement Project Update:

Construction is moving forward at the Pearland Parkway and Broadway intersection as utility work wraps up. Once complete, crews can accelerate major roadway improvements.

In the coming weeks, the new right‑turn lane from Pearland Parkway onto East Broadway will open, allowing work to begin on expanding the left‑turn lanes onto West Broadway. Crews will also continue building the new right‑turn lane onto West Broadway and install upgraded traffic signals to improve safety and traffic flow.

Drivers may see temporary lane shifts and changing traffic patterns throughout construction. Weather may affect schedules.

We appreciate the community’s patience as we work to deliver a safer, more efficient intersection for Pearland residents and visitors.

⚠️Do you really know how deep the water is? Flooding is difficult to see during the day and impossible to see at night.

- 6 inches of fast moving-water can knock over AND carry away an adult.
- 12 inches of fast-moving water can carry away a small car
- 18 to 24 inches of fast-moving water can carry away most large SUVs, vans and trucks.

Don't risk driving if roads look flooded today and tomorrow. Stay up-to-date with Pearland specific alerts by txting PLTXALERTS to 888777.
