SH 26 northbound right lane at Brumlow Avene/Pool Road will be closed during the midday hours from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. today and Monday, Feb. 2 to perform island curb work. The SH 26 northbound right turn lane at that intersection will remain open. There is a traffic switch planned for Monday, Feb. 2 at the intersection of Brumlow Avenue/Pool Road. The switch will provide one lane in each direction on Brumlow Avenue, with no changes anticipated on SH 26 at the intersection. The upgraded radar signal at the intersection with John McCain Road has been installed. A radar signal detects vehicles better than the previous video-detection system, and should improve traffic flow. SH 26 UTILITY RELOCATION PROJECT (City of Colleyville/utility franchises) Please send any questions, concerns, or comments to 26@colleyville.com. The city continues to relocate water and sewer lines along SH 26 in preparation for the next phase of TxDOT's reconstruction project. This work will be primarily accomplished in the rights-of-way adjacent to the roadway, but at times, some limited lane closures may be necessary. Atmos will also be working on the west side of SH 26, from Centerpark to Glade Road. Any impact to traffic should be minimal and all affected businesses have been notified. Lane closures are possible from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. this week on the east side of SH 26, from Brown Trail south to Felps Drive, as a new sanitary sewer line is being installed. Lane closures are also anticipated from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., from south of Centerpark to Little Bear Creek, as AT&T starts placing new telecommunication lines. Lane closures are expected from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the west side of SH 26, from Main Street north to First Baptist Colleyville. The contractor will be placing a waterline in that area. Lane closures from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. are possible this week at the SH 26/Hall-Johnson Road intersection. Atmos has bored across SH 26 at this location and has the new main in and backfilled. They will be working to get this to final grade and the sidewalk replaced. The contractor will also be working on the west side of SH 26 at the same location. All affected businesses have been notified. Lane closures from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. are possible this week in the 5100 Block of Colleyville Boulevard to Thompson Terrace as the contractor will be working on both sides of SH 26 setting manholes and placing sanitary sewer in the area. Time Warner continues to bore cable and move overhead lines on both sides of SH 26 at various locations. All businesses affected by the relocation work have been notified. CHEEK-SPARGER/JACKSON ROAD ROUNDABOUT The contractor has finished the main lane paving on Central Drive so drivers have now been shifted onto the roundabout, which is now in its final alignment. Construction is still taking place around the travel lanes, so for safety reasons, the temporary stop signs will remain in place to slow traffic prior to entering the roundabout. The temporary stop signs will be removed once all construction activities have been completed. The contractor will be installing the remaining curbs, medians, pavers, bridge railing, and sidewalks. Brief lane closures will occur as necessary to complete this work when necessary to keep the crews safe. The contractor has focused the past few weeks on the completion of the main lane paving for the south leg of the intersection (Central Drive) to get drivers on the roundabout as soon as possible. This was done in multiple phases. The first section of pavement was placed on Jan. 6, the second on Jan. 16 and the third and final section was placed on Jan. 26. The contractor used a special type of concrete that gets its strength quickly, which allowed drivers on the lanes sooner. PONDEROSA LANE/ Kingston Addition Improvements Ponderosa Lane will be reduced to one lane of traffic from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. this week while a contractor places a storm drain from 6405 Ponderosa Lane south to 6309 Ponderosa Lane. The contractor will also be placing inlets on Ponderosa Lane. The road will remain open to traffic and the work will not disrupt trash/recycle collection. PLEASANT RUN ROAD PROJECT - Veranda Lane/Mission Lane to Bogart Drive This week, the contractor will place a new sanitary sewer main along Pleasant Run on the east side from First United Methodist to Laurel Oaks. There will also be a road crossing at Pleasant Run and Laurel Oaks. This crossing will be placed across Pleasant Run and placed one half at a time. Water line placement will also start at Laurel Oaks, Central, Regina, and Thomas. These will be road crossings. Time Warner Cable and AT&T will continue boring new lines along the Pleasant Run corridor from Bogart Drive to Mission Lane. Drivers should expect some delays due to various lane closures from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., but the road will remain open to traffic. However, work on the storm drains is slated to start sometime in February, at which time this section of the road will be closed to thru traffic for the duration of the project. The project is anticipated to take 270 days to complete. (Drivers should note that the road will remain closed to thru traffic, but will continuously provide access throughout construction to homes or businesses on or adjacent to this section of the road. All others should plan to use alternate routes: SH 26 to Hall-Johnson Road then to Bogart Drive or SH 26 to Glade Road, west to Bransford Road.) This is an extensive project requiring not only complete reconstruction of the road and construction of sidewalks and trails, but also constructing a new drainage system under Pleasant Run Road. This is a two-lane road that is being rebuilt as a two-lane road--so that construction has to take place on existing lanes with little room to maneuver--thus the extended road closure. However, the condition of Pleasant Run Road necessitates that the road be reconstructed. Once done, reconstructed roads done to the standards planned for this project have a lifespan of 40-50 years, with only minimal maintenance such as asphalt resurfacing, which may take 2-3 days and requires minimal disruption to traffic. The Pleasant Run Road and Trail Improvements Project involves reconstructing a two- lane asphalt street with concrete curbs and gutters, constructing a five-foot sidewalk on the west side of the road and a 10-foot hike/bike trail along the east side, and new street lighting. The city has completed a portion of the project-widening Mission Lane, east of Veranda Lane, from one lane to two, to allow for two-way traffic in that section. Project Details TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT BROWN TRAIL AND CHEEK-SPARGER ROAD Installation is complete on the upgraded traffic signals at Brown Trail and Cheek- Sparger Road and at Glade Road and Heritage Avenue. Both signals now have flashing left-turn arrows. Flashing left-turn arrows TRAIN QUIET ZONES There is no further update on the quiet zones. We still expect them to go into effect sometime in February, but it will depend on TxDOT's planned reconstruction of the median on John McCain Road near the intersection with SH 26. The completion notice required by the Federal Railroad Administration cannot be filed until the median divider east of the railroad tracks on John McCain Road is finished.
