Glade Road Project to begin portion of Phase 1
The City of Colleyville is in the final stages of acquiring the
right-of-way (ROW) necessary to reconstruct a portion of
Glade Road Phase 1.
Phase 1 of the project includes the roadway between
Bransford Road to Manning Drive. The portion that is going
to be constructed first, starting summer 2017, runs from
Bransford Road to Colleyville Boulevard. While city staff has
not yet established a detailed construction timeline, the
City plans to begin work this summer to limit disruptions to
traffic, especially for motorists going to the nearby school.
Work includes a new through lane at Bransford Road, which
will improve intersection efficiency. The project will also
add an 8' trail on the north side of Glade Road and a 5'
sidewalk on the southside.

Forward To A Friend
The remaining portion of Phase 1 will move forward to
construction once the City acquires all necessary ROW. The
remaining section of Glade Road Phase 1 includes the
realignment of the Bedford Road intersection, a roundabout
at Riverwalk Drive, and lowering the elevation of Glade
Road at Bluebonnet Drive to improve sight distance, which
removes the need for stop signs at this intersection.
City Council continues to review designs for the rest of the
project from the western city limits to Bransford Road and
from Manning Drive to Heritage Avenue.
