ROAD CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE TxDOT SH 26 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT Please send any questions, concerns, or comments to 26@colleyville.com. There are no scheduled lane closures for next week; however, there may be occasional closures for material deliveries or unscheduled work. Typically, day closures range from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and night closures are between 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Drivers should always use caution while driving through the work zone. 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. Lane closures are expected from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. this week on the east side of SH 26, from south of Centerpark to Glade Road. Atmos will be installing new gas lines. AT&T will be working in the same area installing a new duct bank. All affected businesses have been notified. Lane closures are expected from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the west side of SH 26, from Village Lane south to Pleasant Run Road so the contractor can place a water line. After installation, the contractor will be testing and doing tie-ins in this area, so there may be brief water interruptions. ALL businesses will be notified and tie-ins will be performed around their schedule. There will also be a new sanitary sewer line placed in this area 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 west side of SH 26, from Pleasant Run Road to Glade Road so a new sanitary sewer line can be installed. All affected businesses have been notified. Lane closures from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. are possible this week at the SH 26/Church Street intersection. Atmos will be boring across Church Street to install a new gas main. All affected businesses have been notified. Atmos be replacing sidewalks and driveways, and conducting some road repairs in various locations. Businesses will be notified prior to the start of any work and access will be provided at all times. The water and sewer utility contractor will also be in doing driveway and road repairs from Church Street south towards Felps Drive on the east side of SH 26. Businesses will be notified prior to the start of any work commencing and access will be provided at all times. A new sewer line will be placed behind the businesses near Colleyville Boulevard and Hardage Lane. Businesses have been notified and any impact will be minimal. Time Warner continues to bore cable and move overhead lines on both sides of SH 26 at various locations. All businesses affected by these activities have been notified. CHEEK-SPARGER/JACKSON ROAD ROUNDABOUT Drivers have 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 is installing the remaining curbs, medians, pavers, bridge pilasters, pedestrian rail, and sidewalks. To keep the crews safe, brief lane closures may occur as necessary to finish the remaining work. PONDEROSA LANE/Kingston Addition Improvements Kingston Drive/McCain Lane will be reduced to one lane from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. this week while the contractor excavates the existing roadway to the new grade. Depending on the weather conditions, the contractor will also place new curb and gutter on portions of Kingston Drive. Kingston Drive and McCain Lane will be limited to one lane for access at all times to residential driveways. The road will remain open to traffic and the work will not disrupt trash/recycle collection. PLEASANT RUN ROAD PROJECT Pleasant Run Road is closed to THRU TRAFFIC from Church Street to Bogart Drive for completion of the water adjustments, storm drain placement, and storm drain inlets prior to construction of Pleasant Run Road. There will be water interruptions next week as the contractor has to tie new water lines to existing lines. All affected residents and businesses will be notified 24 hours prior to any water shut off. Drivers should note that the road will remain closed to thru traffic; however, access will be provided to homes or businesses on or adjacent to this section of the road throughout construction. Entry and exit for residents, mail delivery, trash collection, school buses, and emergency vehicles is from Bogart Drive. Mail delivery and trash/recycle collection will not be affected, and emergency vehicles will have access at all times. GCISD has been notified and buses will be allowed to pick up and drop off students from this section of Pleasant Run Road; however, NO BUSES ALLOWED TO THRU TRAFFIC. All others should plan to use alternate routes: SH 26 to Hall-Johnson Road then to Bogart Drive or SH 26 to Church Street, then west to Bransford Road or SH 26. Once utility work is done, the road will be closed between Main and Church streets for storm drain work on the southern part of project. Depending on the weather, this could happen the first week of March. Digital message boards will be out to notify drivers a week in advance. The road will be CLOSED TO THRU TRAFFIC from Mission Lane to Bogart Drive; and it is expected to remain closed for 270 days. 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 project was designed based on the input of the neighbors that took an interest in the project and submitted opinions and/or suggestions for the design, such as curb and gutter, asphalt or concrete, and even sidewalks. The city conducted two public meetings on the project and met with neighbors and those most affected by the project prior to completing the design. Pleasant Run Road is being reconstructed as an asphalt street rather than concrete because a majority of those citizens who weighed in preferred asphalt. 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.
