Uptown will soon look like its old self again, just with a modern twist. Crews began installing the "reimagined" silver street signs overnight, starting with Westheimer at Post Oak.One of the shiny 40-foot rings that tells you which direction you're going is back up in the Galleria area.
Overnight, crews installed the ring that goes over the intersection of Westheimer Road and Post Oak Boulevard. The "reimagined" sign is now embedded with LED lights. Officials said the ring is made of stainless steel and weighs over three tons.Four of the six iconic rings, which were originally hung in 1995, were taken down when work began to rebuild the street, create bus lanes, widen sidewalks and continue beautification efforts in 2016.
Instead of a single solid tube you're familiar with, the new design consists of two tube rings - an 8-inch ring on top and 3-inch ring on the bottom, connected by stainless-steel fins, making them look a bit more like crowns than halos.
