On September 7, 2018, Fort Bend County officials gathered in Precinct 3 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of the Spring Green Boulevard Roundabout, the first two-lane roundabout constructed by Fort Bend County.

The new roundabout, located at the intersection of Spring Green Boulevard and Katy Flewellen Road, connects Spring Green Boulevard, Katy Flewellen Road and Cinco Trace Drive. Part of the project also included realigning Crossover Road to intersect north of the roundabout. The total project cost is $4.4 million funded by bonds from the 2013 Mobility Program as well as contributions from Newland Homes.

County Judge Bob Hebert said, “I’m very happy to have this portion of Spring Green open. The roundabout will handle more traffic faster and safer by not requiring traffic to come to a complete stop at a signal or stop sign.”
