ROAD CONSTRUCTION
TxDOT SH 26 CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Please send any questions, concerns, or comments to 26@colleyville.com.
The contractor is still constructing the new retaining wall south of the bridge. Over the
past few weeks, they have excavated for the wall, poured concrete for level-up pads,
installed wall underdrains, and set wall panels. Next week, work is scheduled to begin
on the retaining wall located north of the bridge.
The contractor continues to work on the bridge. In the past two weeks, they've
completed concrete work for multiple columns and caps. They're also in the process of
working on the abutment located at the north end of the bridge. Concrete work should
be completed next week, then the contractor should begin setting beams for the bridge.
The contractor has also been doing some earthwork south of the bridge in anticipation
of upcoming subgrade preparation.
SH 26 UTILITY RELOCATION PROJECT (City of Colleyville/Utility Franchises)
The city continues to relocate water and sewer lines along SH 26 in preparation for the
next phase of TxDOT's reconstruction project. Franchise utilities, such as Atmos Energy
(gas lines) and ONCOR (overhead power lines) are also relocating their respective
utilities. Please send any questions, concerns, or comments to 26@colleyville.com.
Sanitary sewer placement
A new sanitary sewer line is being placed from Little Bear Creek south toward Brown
Trail, on the east side of the road. Lane closures are possible in this area from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
There will also be a sewer line bored from the east side to the west side of SH 26 just
south of Little Bear Creek. Lane closures are possible from south of Little Bear
Creek to Church Street from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Atmos Energy line relocations
Atmos will be relocating gas lines on the west side of SH 26, from Tuscany Drive to Hall-
Johnson Road, and on the east side of SH 26, from Hall-Johnson to Church Street. All
businesses affected by the relocation work have been notified and the city is helping to
schedule the work to minimize the impact to those businesses. Lane closures are
possible at the intersection of Hall-Johnson Road and SH 26 from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. daily.

ADDITIONAL ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Please send any questions, concerns, or comments about these projects to
Colleyville@Colleyville.com.
Jackson/Cheek-Sparger roundabout and Jackson Road rehabilitation
The Jackson Road/Cheek-Sparger Road roundabout is anticipated to be completed in
February. Originally scheduled for completion in November, the project was delayed
because some of the franchise utilities had difficulties relocating their respective
infrastructure (lines). This prevented the city's contractor from continuing construction,
resulting in about a five-month delay.
The contractor has spent the past few weeks working on the new bridge structure. The
final section of the bridge and the headwall were installed the last week of December.
Traffic shifts should be expected as the contractor works to reconstruct the
Central Drive leg of the intersection. The current traffic pattern is temporary
until Central Drive can be reconstructed. Traffic must be shifted to the north to
allow construction of the new drainage system and concrete pavement.
Drivers should expect traffic shifts as the contractor works to reconstruct the
Central Drive leg of the intersection. These traffic shifts are necessary to allow
traffic to use the intersection while the construction is taking place. The
alternative is to close the intersection during construction.
Motorists are advised to take their time and observe all traffic signs as lanes will be
shifted during the final phases of the project. Depending on weather conditions, the
roundabout should be substantially complete in February.
Pleasant Run Road reconstruction
The Pleasant Run Reconstruction Project has been pushed back to allow more time for
franchise utilities to move their lines (phone, power, communications). An exact start
date has not been determined but will most likely be later in January.
Electronic message boards will be used to provide advance notice prior to the
start of road work.
Quiet Zone preparations
This project establishes "quiet zones" at Colleyville's three railroad crossings so that
trains will not be required to sound their horns when approaching grade crossings. Work
on the crossings is essentially complete but because of the SH 26 highway
reconstruction at the John McCain intersection, the completion notice cannot be filed
with the Federal Railroad Administration until the median divider east of the railroad
tracks on John McCain is completed. This is expected to be done in early January.
Once all construction work is completed, a Notice of Establishment (NOE) is submitted
to the Federal Railroad Administration, which then notifies all railroads. Twenty-one (21)
days after the NOE is submitted, the quiet zones go into effect. This is anticipated to
happen before the end of January.

Southlake Bridge - Pleasant Run Road/White Chapel Boulevard
The city of Southlake has notified the city that the bridge on White Chapel Road leading
to Southlake is now open. The bridge had been closed since Dec. 8, for repairs and was
expected to be closed for 30 days, so it has been re-opened about a week early. The
bridge repair required concrete collars to be placed around the existing piers to provide
protection and additional support. The concrete collars were completed in late December
and once the concrete had sufficient time to harden the bridge was re-opened.
