Practical commute post: recap which Stafford streets were resurfaced in the 2026 project (AKJ St., 6th St., Flaxseed Way, Oldcrest Dr. and more) and remind residents about fresh oil and uneven pavement when driving those blocks.

The City of Stafford recently undertook the 2026 Street Repair Project, enhancing the driveability and safety of numerous roads across the area. This initiative, conducted throughout October 2026, aimed to address wear and tear, ensuring smooth commutes for residents and visitors. Repairs covered key streets such as AKJ St., 6th St., Flaxseed Way, Oldcrest Dr., and many more. While this improvement project is a great step forward, it’s important for drivers to remain vigilant for temporary construction effects like fresh oil, uneven pavement, and potential bumps in the road.

Streets Resurfaced in the Stafford Area

During this month-long project, the City of Stafford’s Public Works Department, in collaboration with Fort Bend County, focused on significant roadways in the community. Streets included in the repair list were AKJ St., 6th St., Flaxseed Way, Oldcrest Dr., Center St., Linda St., Rose Ann St., Oak St., Frank Ln., Perez St., Buena Vista St., and Deborah St. This comprehensive approach ensures a more pleasant driving experience for residents and enhances the local infrastructure.
