They'll also start removing the existing pavement and grading and placing pavement from Colleyville Terrace to Church Street.

BEDFORD ROAD/CHEEK-SPARGER ROUNDABOUT This project is tied to the development of Heritage Farms on the northwest corner of the intersection. The developer was gearing up to begin construction this summer, but didn't make the required start time (at the end of the school year). At this point, we believe this project will begin next summer.
