Download Clean Sweep details COTTON BELT TRAIL The Cotton Belt Trail is a regional trail, connecting the cities of North Richland Hills, Hurst, Colleyville, and in the near future, Grapevine. Colleyville's 2.75-mile trail section starts at the Colleyville/Hurst city limit, just west of L.D. Lockett Park and ends at John McCain Road/SH 26. Construction of the final section of the Cotton Belt Trail will extend it into Grapevine before the end of the year. The last 0.6-mile section will be constructed in conjunction with TxDOT's SH 26 Project. The TxDOT contractor is focused on completion of the road component of the project before beginning work on the trail. At this point, we anticipate the trail will be completed in late summer or early fall of 2015. ROAD CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE Ice, snow, and rain-along with their aftermath-have had an impact on road projects throughout the area. Crews are working to catch up-and sometimes that means unanticipated lane closures and inconvenience to drivers. The city is working with TxDOT to provide the latest information for our residents as soon as it becomes available. TxDOT SH 26 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT Please send any questions, concerns, or comments to 26@colleyville.com. The southbound right lane of SH 26 from Brumlow Avenue/Pool Road to the Big Bear Creek bridge will be closed during midday hours through Sunday, March 22 to remove existing asphalt. Southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane at this location. Typically, midday closures range from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and night closures from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Drivers should always use caution while driving through the work zone. During the next few weeks, the contractor will continue to focus on paving the area north of the bridge, which is one of the last major tasks to be done before southbound traffic will be shifted to new pavement. Starting late next week crews will be working night shifts to wrap up work associated with paving. SH 26 UTILITY RELOCATION PROJECT (City of Colleyville/utility franchises) Please send any questions, concerns, or comments to 26@colleyville.com. Lane closures are expected from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. this week on the east side of SH 26, from Centerpark to Glade Road. Atmos will be installing new gas lines on the east side of SH 26. AT&T will be working in the same area to install 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 Main Street south to Pleasant Run Road so the contractor can place a new sanitary sewer line. All affected businesses have been notified. Installation of the new water line from Church Street to Main Street has been completed. The contractor will be testing the new line 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. 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. The water and sewer utility contractor will also do driveway and road repairs from Church Street south toward Felps Drive, on the east side of SH 26, weather permitting. Businesses will be notified prior to the start of any work and access will be provided at all times. 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 The roundabout is now in its final alignment. There is still construction around the travel lanes, so for safety reasons, the temporary stop signs will remain in place to slow traffic. The contractor still has a few brick pavers to place along the corridor, as well as installing a handrail along the new bridge and pour foundations for the new light installation. To keep the crews safe, brief lane closures may occur as necessary to finish the remaining work. Also, the existing roadway is being excavated from the east side of the roundabout to Buckingham Place so that new subgrade stabilization can be performed and paving placed. This is being performed under a single-lane closure. Expect delays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in each direction. 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. Kingston Drive and McCain Lane will be limited to one lane for access at all times to residential driveways. The contractor will be placing concrete driveways and performing subgrade stabilization. The road will remain open to traffic and the work will not disrupt trash/recycle collection. PLEASANT RUN ROAD PROJECT As of Monday, March 16, Pleasant Run Road has been closed from Mission Lane to Church Street and from Bogart Drive to Church Street. For now, Church Street and Colleyville Terrace will remain open to thru traffic. Entry and exit for residents, mail delivery, trash collection, school buses, and emergency vehicles in the area will be from Church Street. 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. This week the contractors will place concrete for drainage structures from Bogart Drive to Colleyville Terrace and will be placing a new storm drain, waterline replacement, and sewer relocations north of Mission Lane. There may be water interruptions to replace the service to the residence. These will be for brief durations only and residents will be notified in advance.
