Glade Road phases altered to lower time, costs
In order to improve the timing and cost of Glade Road, the
city will reconstruct the road from SH26 to Pool Road as
one project, combining phases 1 and 2.
The City Council agreed to this change at its Oct. 10
worksession. Doing so will improve bidding for the work,
reduce overall construction time, reduce overall cost, and
improve constructability.
"Glade Road is an important thoroughfare for Colleyville,"
Mayor Richard Newton said. "This change allows us to
complete necessary improvements faster and cheaper."
Phase 1 originally included work from Bransford Road to
Manning Drive with work on Bransford Road to SH26
2
p.m. Whether you're looking for a
game to test your strategy and

also free to bring your own games
to play or group to play with.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
There will also be a chance to win a
door prize. Register in-person or

Forward To A Friend
nearing completion this fall. In order to expedite the
remaining portion of Phase 1, the city will pursue this work
in conjunction with Phase 2. Phase 2 originally stretched
from Manning Drive to Pool Road. The City will now work
on the road west of SH26 as one phase, which improves
bidder interests, allows the contractor to work along the
roadway simultaneously, and creates savings in
mobilization and material costs.
The city is currently acquiring right-of-way and utility
relocation will begin once that is complete. Work on the
roadway can begin once that process is complete, possibly
in spring 2019.
The improvements include new pavement with left-turn
lanes where warranted, a roundabout at the Riverwalk
Drive intersection, the lowering and removal of stop signs
at the Bluebonnet Drive intersection, and pedestrian
elements. From SH26 to Montclair Drive the design
includes curb and gutter, an underground storm drainage
system, left-turn lanes, a trail on the north side of the
roadway and a sidewalk on the south. Montclair to
Summerbrook Drive will feature a ribbon curb.
"The City Council held numerous public work sessions and
spent many hours working on a design for Glade Road from
Manning Drive to Pool Road that resolved all of the
community's issues," Mayor Newton said. "The road we will
build improves traffic conditions on Glade while keeping the
road's residential character and charm."
