Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough asking for barriers on Texas 242 flyovers following suicides

Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough asked the Texas Department of Transportation to install pedestrian barricades on the Texas 242 flyovers over Interstate 45 near The Woodlands following two suicides at the location.

“In response to growing concerns about pedestrian safety and the heartbreaking consequences of suicide, I have formally requested that TxDOT install pedestrian barricades or fencing on the two flyovers at Highway 242,” Keough posted on social media Monday. “These structures were not designed with that protection in mind, and it’s clear that immediate action is needed to prevent future tragedies.”
