Heads Up: Driveway Widening
Project at Mont Belvieu Crossing
The City of Mont Belvieu wants residents and drivers to be aware that beginning this morning, the middle driveway into Mont Belvieu Crossing Shopping Center
(near H-E-B) will be closed for approximately three weeks for driveway widening. During construction, motorists are encouraged to use the entrances off Langston Blvd. or the driveway near the H-E-B gas station and to remain alert as traffic patterns change.
Note: This is not a City of Mont Belvieu project, but the City wanted to ensure the public is informed due to the heavy traffic in this area.
