Bedford Euless Road Reconstruction

Text Bford to 888777 to receive lane closure and construction updates.
Work continues on the northern side of the roadway including the installation of sidewalks and ramps, as well as paving. Starting Monday, July 24, contractors will be closing Colorado Boulevard and Strummer Drive at Bedford Euless Road for paving operations. Maple Street and Nevada Trail will be open for area residents to access their neighborhood. All businesses along Bedford-Euless Road continue to be accessible. We anticipate there being one more period of one-way traffic when the final concrete lanes are poured this summer. Reconstruction of Bedford Euless Road is part of the 2020 Street Bond Program. 
Project Overview & FAQs

Glenview Drive Reconstruction

Text Glenview to 888777 to receive lane closure and construction updates. 
Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction on Glenview Drive from just east of Boulevard 26 to just west of Vance Road while Atmos Energy works to improve its utility infrastructure. This includes replacing a 16” high-pressure gas line along with several smaller distribution lines. Atmos is placing a temporary asphalt surface in the areas they dug up for the pipeline work. Following Atmos' work, the city will reconstruct Glenview from Boulevard 26 to Flory Street and from Honey Lane to the western city limit. The asphalt roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement. Sidewalks will be reconstructed and added where they are currently missing. Drainage and utility improvements are also part of this project. Reconstruction of Glenview is part of the 2020 Street Bond Program. The city's construction project is expected to begin in late 2023.

Iron Horse Boulevard - East of Rufe Snow

Text Ironhorse to 888777 to receive lane closure and construction updates.
Construction began in April 2023 on the project to reconstruct Iron Horse Boulevard east of Rufe Snow Drive. Starting Sept. 11, traffic will be reduced to one lane that is westbound only for paving operations. Eastbound traffic must use an alternate route, such as Mid Cities Blvd. The paving work is estimated to take 6 to 7 months to complete. The existing roadway is being replaced with reinforced concrete pavement and sidewalks will be added where currently missing. Drainage and utility improvements are also part of this project. Based on the Vision 2030 Transportation Plan recommendation, the bulk of the roadway will be reconfigured to a wide two-lane configuration with a raised median. This project is funded in part by a grant from the Economic Development Administration. Project Overview & FAQs

Iron Horse Boulevard - West of Rufe Snow

Text Ironhorse to 888777 to receive lane closure and construction updates.
Construction began July 10, 2023 on Iron Horse Boulevard between Browning Drive and Rufe Snow Drive. Traffic on this section of Iron Horse will be reduced to one lane in each direction while the existing asphalt roadway is reconstructed with reinforced concrete pavement. During the first phase of the project, the southern half of the roadway will be closed, shifting traffic to the northern lanes. Please slow down and watch for workers if you travel in this area and consider taking an alternate route when possible. Reconstruction of Iron Horse is part of the 2020 Street Bond Program.

Residential Street Reconstructions - Dawn, Stonybrooke, Nob Hill 

The reconstruction of Dawn Drive, Stonybrooke Drive (from Stephanie Drive to Crestview Drive) and Nob Hill Drive is taking place as part of the 2020 Street Bond Program. Currently, contractors are repairing sections of concrete curb and gutter that are damaged. Once that work is completed, they will begin the sub-grade repairs followed by asphalt resurfacing. To prevent project delays, residents are encouraged to move vehicles from the street on days that contractors will be working.

Asphalt Overlay Projects

Asphalt overlays are being completed on 21 streets as part of the Preventive Street Maintenance Program. An asphalt overlay consists of applying a 2 to 3-inch layer of hot mix asphalt on the street to level and waterproof the roadway. Curb and gutter repairs are currently taking place where needed, prior to the overlay work.

Upcoming Improvements

Lariat Trail Reconstruction

We are currently reviewing bids from contractors for the reconstruction of Lariat Trail. A contract may be awarded at the first City Council meeting in October.  This project is part of the 2020 Street Bond Program.

Residential Street Reconstruction - Sao Paulo Court

Sao Paulo Court will be reconstructed and new sidewalks will be installed. Construction is expected to begin later this summer. At their July 10 meeting, the City Council recommended a construction contract be awarded to Don Smith Concrete, LLC. This project is being funded by a federal Community Development Block Grant and will be administered by Tarrant County. 

Davis Blvd at Northeast Parkway Deceleration Lane

Northeast Parkway was recently extended west of Davis Boulevard to provide access to the new Smithfield Elementary School.  A new traffic signal was activated at the intersection of Northeast Parkway and Davis Boulevard on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022.  A deceleration lane will also be added on southbound Davis for vehicles turning west onto Northeast Parkway once TxDOT approves the final plans and releases that permit.  

Recently Completed Improvements

Hightower & Davis Traffic Signal

New traffic signals were constructed in July 2023 at the intersection of Davis Boulevard and Hightower Drive. A traffic engineering study indicated that traffic signals are warranted to improve safety at this intersection, which can be difficult to navigate during peak times.

Slurry Seal Projects

42 streets received slurry seal treatment in June 2023 as part of the Preventive Street Maintenance Program. Slurry seal is a thin asphalt overlay / seal coat that fills in small cracks and surface imperfections to give the roadway a uniform color and texture. Most importantly it seals the pavement, preventing the infiltration of water, which is the most frequent cause of pavement failure. This maintenance helps to preserve and extend the life of our neighborhood streets.
