Flower Mound council members approved nearly $3.3 million for projects covering Amhearst Lane and Lakeside Parkway during the Nov. 17 meeting.
The overview
One of the projects will cover concrete panel replacements along Lakeside Parkway between Long Prairie Road and town limits, according to meeting documents. Manny Palacios, Flower Mound’s assistant director of public works, said crews will replace around 11,215 square yards of concrete pavement along the roughly 2.37 miles of road in the project area.
Town staff have identified multiple spots where concrete deterioration has occurred along the roadway. Palacios said the concrete panel replacements are a separate project from a proposed road widening along Lakeside Parkway.
The project cost is nearly $3.1 million and will be funded through the town’s sales tax dedication. Construction on the panel replacements is expected to begin in January and wrap up in five months.
More details
Additionally, council members approved a design construction worth $209,000 for the reconstruction of Amhearst Lane between Lake Forest Boulevard and Bershire Drive. The entire project will cost $2.7 million and will be funded through both street reconstruction bonds and utility debt.
According to town documents, the road project will include:
- Pavement reconstruction
- Sidewalk and barrier-free ramp replacements
- Rebuilding the water main and portions of the sewer line under the street
