The Dr. Ned and Fay Dudney Clear Creek Nature Center, 1220 Egret Bay Blvd., is scheduled to close this month as the city continues a $20 million capital improvement project to install a water line that will go through part of the 148-acre preserve. Reopening is expected in late September or early October.
The Dr. Ned and Fay Dudney Clear Creek Nature Center will be temporarily closed starting in mid-June because of a water-line project project connecting a booster pump at Texas 3 with one at South Shore Harbor.
A League City nature center will soon close until fall as the city continues a $20 million capital improvement project to install a water line that will go through part of the 148-acre preserve.
The Dr. Ned and Fay Dudney Clear Creek Nature Center, 1220 Egret Bay Blvd., is scheduled to close this month. Its reopening is expected in late September or early October.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this closure will cause our residents; however, it is necessary to complete a major water infrastructure project for the city," city spokeswoman Sarah Osborne said.
In a project that began in May, crews are installing approximately 17,000 feet of 36-inch PVC pipe to carry drinking water between a booster pump station on Texas 3 and one at South Shore Harbour.
The city will take precautions to ensure the preserve is protected during the work, and workers will use underground directional drilling methods, Osborne said.
"This is a more expensive option, but we felt it was necessary to ensure the preservation and protection of the prairie and wetlands located at the park," she said.
The workers will occupy a small area of the park and restore that section when work is completed, Marcos Garcia, the city's senior projects manager, said in a video on the city's website.
The center is one of the area's last undeveloped tracts, and its wetlands serve as a nursery for many species of fish and provide habitat for migrating birds — including the occasional whooping crane, according to the city's website.
