Lane Closure

Update: Jan 16, 2025

A section of the HWY 6 southbound outside lane, between University Blvd and First Colony Blvd, will remain closed until June 2025. Additionally, the HWY 6 northbound inside turn lane that leads into the Sugar Land Police Department and Municipal Court will also remain closed for the duration of construction.

Please be mindful of work crews, expect traffic delays, and, when possible, avoid the area to prevent congestion. Visit its.sugarlandtx.gov for more information on Sugar Land travel time data. 

About This Project

October 22, 2024

To improve traffic circulation at the intersection of First Colony and Soldier’s Field, construction of a new roundabout intersection is anticipated to begin in October 2024 and be completed in July 2025. The proposed roundabout also helps alleviate congestion at the First Colony Blvd and State Highway 6 intersection. Additionally, the extension from Soldiers Field Dr to Highway 6 will enhance access to both the existing Police Department and the forthcoming Emergency Operation/Dispatch Center.

The project was included in four general obligation bond propositions totaling $90.76 million decisively approved by Sugar Land voters on Nov. 5, 2019. The projects included in the propositions cover drainage, facilities, mobility, and safety and were selected based on extensive planning through various master plans, City Council input, and the results of citizen satisfaction surveys that indicated drainage, public safety, and traffic/mobility are the top three priorities for residents.

Sugar Land voters approved more than $10.26 million in 2019 for street projects focusing on improvements to mobility and reinvestment into the city’s street network, including $2.46 million for the construction of the Soldiers Field Extension to SH 6 and roundabout at First Colony Blvd and Soldiers Field. Our residents have been clear on the continued need to invest in mobility projects, and we’ve worked hard to deliver on our promise from the 2019 GO Bond election.

 The Soldiers Field Extension and First Colony Roundabout project will involve constructing the following:

• A right turn lane on SH6 onto the proposed Soldiers Field Extension.
• Removal of the existing Soldiers Field Cul-De-Sac.
• Approximately 1,000 LF of 2-lane roadway from the existing cul-de-sac to SH6.
• A two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Soldiers Field and First Colony Blvd.
• Water line and Sanitary Sewer improvements within the project limits.
