Houston is transitioning more of its heavy road construction to nighttime to reduce the impact on daytime traffic.
With the city’s growing population and frequent congestion during peak hours, daytime construction often worsens traffic delays.
By moving these projects to the night, city planners aim to minimize disruptions to commuters and improve traffic flow during the day.
Nighttime work also provides cooler working conditions for crews, especially during Houston’s hot summers.
However, challenges such as increased noise and higher costs for night shifts must be managed as the city adjusts to this approach.
