This is a bit off topic for me, but will soon affect many people in Kingwood who use Mills Branch Drive. See the details of a new repaving project.

That route that turns into Ford Rd use to be our wonderful little secret to get to Porter. Now it's just congested and slow. One lane going in each direction with no lights, it's a mess at rush hour now

Lol , says look for a better ride...
We need a better ride on Kingwood drive. That damn road is more rough in all my offroaders than trails in Utah and New Mexico

BobRehak: I use this route every M-F. Happy to deal with the construction to resolve all the crappy potholes that constantly pop-up… er, down.

Thanks Bob!

We drove down Ford Road/Mills Branch today and was surprised at all the development and traffic.

MissAmericanPie : It will always be congested and unless they widen to four lanes that wont change. I'd rather see widening myself.

So hopefully it will only take 40 days. Ford rd has been my alternative to the fwy instead of going NP.

Several times I thought I'd get tossed off my motorcycle. It actually rivals Westheimer in Houston in roughness !
Makes me wonder if it's soil conditions or ineptness.

Know this project is necessary, but will cause a lot of traffic problems. Mills Branch to Porter is heavily traveled. Those folks will have to detour via Kingwood Drive to 59 I suppose. Northpark is not a good option. We have too many people with too few connections to 59!
