A segment of the Terry Hershey Park trail north of Buffalo Bayou from the Beltway west to Kirkwood will be temporarily closed for repair while the Harris County Flood Control District addresses bank failures that occurred during the May flooding and subsequent dam releases.
Stabilization repairs have been ongoing but park visitors taking undue risks and not avoiding construction areas have led to concerns about dangerous situations occurring. "No trespassing" signs have been posted in the repair area and Harris County Constables will be paroling and issuing citations to people in violation of the trespassing ordinance. The park closure will be temporary as the construction teams complete their work.
Always be mindful during wet and inclement weather, especially near the Bayou and sites where construction is ongoing.
