After more than four years of construction, work on a $128.2 million project to widen FM 1960 in the Lake Houston area is expected to wrap up in April, officials with the Texas Department of Transportation confirmed March 18.

The overview: In late 2021, road work began on a two-part project that widened FM 1960 from a four-lane asphalt roadway to a six-lane divided concrete roadway. TxDOT Public Information Officer Bambi Hall said the project consists of a raised median, curbs and gutters, channelized left-turn lanes and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.

Segment A—a $58.2 million project—runs from Business FM 1960 to east of Twigsworth Lane, while Segment B—a $70 million project—continues to the western approach of the McKay Bridge at Lake Houston.

The timeline: Hall said work on Segment B wrapped up in December, and that all lanes within Segment A will be open by March 23. She noted work on remaining punch-list items should be finished by the end of April.

Drivers can expect delays along Sorters Road in Porter on March 27 while one lane of the roadway is closed for construction.

What's happening? One lane of Sorters Road will be closed from where the road intersects with Northpark Drive to where the road intersects with Northpark Woods Boulevard. The closure is expected to last only one day while work is done on the bridge over South Bentwood Channel.

The conditions: Flaggers will be positioned in the area to direct traffic. Drivers are asked to avoid the area if they are able.

On March 20, student doctors at Sam Houston State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine celebrated Match Day and learned where they would go for their residencies.

Some context: Student doctors interview with residency programs across the country, and submit a ranked list of the residency programs where they’d like to train, COM Dean Thomas Mohr said. The residency programs also rank the students they’ve interviewed, and after the preferences are processed, student doctors are paired with residency programs.

By the numbers: According to a March 20 news release:

• COM’s residency placement rate exceeded 99%.
• Almost 66% of student doctors will remain in Texas for their residencies.
• A little over 51% of student doctors matched into primary care specialties such as family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics.
• 26% of student doctors matched into emergency medicine.
