Utility relocation continues along SH26
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) provided
a SH26 project update for August 2016 and reported that
utility companies continue to make progress moving
utilities. Relocation of the utilities should be completed this
fall, with construction starting soon after.
While the project had the potential to begin as early as
summer, work to expand the roadway to six lanes is not
slated to begin until utility relocation is complete.
Companies have brought in additional crews to expedite
the completion of this process.
Supporting the community throughout the project's
duration remains one of Colleyville City Council's top
priorities. City staff meets regularly with project
stakeholders including local businesses, TxDOT, and the
project contractor Jagoe-Public. The city was responsible
for managing the relocation of water and wastewater
utilities along the corridor, which was completed in fall
2015.
