The details
Colleyville partners with Tarrant County annually to assess the state of the roads and improve roads that have cracks or are showing base failures.
This year, they are focusing on resurfacing the roads on Plantation Court, Plantation Drive North and South and Saddlebrook segments to include:
- Chimney Rock Court
- Hidden Valley Court
- Hunters Glen Court
- Inwood Lane
- Mockingbird Lane
- Rodeo Drive
- Summertree Court
- Wilcrest Court
- Woodvale Court
The City will be responsible for the costs associated with removal of excess materials, new materials, construction materials testing, traffic control, flaggers, and disposal fees at an off-site landfill facility for waste materials generated during the project.
The county will appoint the labor and equipment for the project and there is no estimated start time for the project. Once construction begins, it should take 2-4 days to complete for each road, according to city documents.
In similar news
City Council approved an interlocal agreement with Tarrant County for commissioner Gary Fickus to provide $13 million for the Cheek-Sparger Road widening project.
The money will be provided through the November 2021 bond.
Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne provided $2.5 million in grants for the project as well, said Public Works Director Amber Beard.
The Trinity River Authority will also provide some funding for the reconstruction due to their waterline project and they are working with North Central Texas Council of Governments for funding, Beard said.
The work will be done on Cheek-Sparger Road from Heritage Avenue to Bedford Road and include:
- Widening and reconstructing existing two-lane undivided asphalt roadway to a two-lane concrete curb and gutter roadway with 12-foot lanes, medians and pocketed turn lanes at key intersections
- Sidewalks, stormwater, drainage, water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades
A design contract for the reconstruction is expected to be presented to city council later this spring, said Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery.
Also of note
City Council approved a contract with Garver for $199,650 to repair and repaint the water tank on Hall-Johnson and repaint the McPherson storage tank, according to city documents.
The Hall-Johnson water tank was last rehabilitated in 2009 and started leaking in the past year. The city repaired the leak temporarily so is now fixing it more permanently. A liner will be put into the water tank which can last 10-15 years, Beard said.
This project will take four to six months to design and a discussion of rebranding and painting will be done at a future date, Beard said.
