Blakey Lane extension inches forward near Burleson Crossing East

The cost

According to the cost estimate, the work includes the construction of a 375-linear-foot extension of Blakey Lane, along with the installation of waterlines.

Per the agreement, the city will reimburse the developer up to $690,000 for eligible costs through a monthly certification and payment process throughout construction.

Some context

Under a 2023 agreement, the city was responsible for building the extension; however, portions of the project have been delayed in the design phase as officials decide between extension and roundabout options.

City officials said the pivot will provide a way to move the work forward.

What’s next

Work must be completed within 18 months, or no later than December 2027.
