Wesley Drive & FM 518 Drainage Improvement Project

This drainage project will provide improvements along Wesley Drive, North Wesley, and FM 518.

In 2021, the City started a project that will replace the existing storm sewer system within the FM 518 ROW with a reinforced concrete box culvert or an RCB! This project will install smaller RCBs across FM 518 stubbing out into both Wesley Drive and Highland Terrace Drive ROWs.
