NEW ROADS, NEW BRIDGE …
all lead to a new HOME in Spring Trails!
HOUSTON, Texas – Over the river and through the woods to your new home in Spring Trails! The key to every successful community is location, location, LOCATION and the only master-planned community where you can live with nature off the Hardy Toll Road has something new to boast about … Riley Fuzzel Road and the new bridge over Spring Creek are now both OPEN!
 The former Riley Fuzzel Road was a 2.3 mile, two-lane rural road that was “heavily traveled” per Espey Consultants and it has been “anticipated that traffic volumes will increase substantially based on projected residential growth in this area of southern Montgomery County.” The project coordinated by Harris County, the Harris County Toll Road Authority and Montgomery County included the “widening of the road from a two-lane asphalt roadway to a five-lane concrete roadway with 6-foot asphalt shoulders.” The new road and 4-lane, 100-foot span bridge over Spring Creek built Southeast of the previous bridge is located just a mile from the Spring Trails' community entrance – less than two minutes away – making access to and from the community to the Hardy Toll Road, Old Town Spring and I-45 even easier! These improvements to the area roads, bridge and therefore commute are an additional benefit of living at Spring Trails … a relaxing lifestyle of nature in the forest of possibilities accented by the amenities and convenience of city living. Jimmy Pappas, the executive vice president of Midway Residential comments “the new road and bridge assist with the flow of traffic to and from the community, as well as providing for safer traveling for our residents and guests.”
