As the city of Houston continues to recover from Hurricane Harvey’s aftermath, authorities are working as fast as possible to repair damages to the city’s infrastructure. Major flooding on the west side of Houston resulted in a segment of Sam Houston Tollway just south of Interstate-10 to be submerged under about 15 ft of water.
Last week, the Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) pumped the water that remained in this depressed section of roadway using a series of pumps, revealing major damage.
