Bransford Road, Montclair Drive sidewalk construction in Colleyville to start in August

Colleyville City Council approved two contracts for sidewalk construction along Bransford Road and Montclair Drive and set aside funds for new sidewalks along Heritage Avenue and Cheek-Sparger Road during its June 17 meeting.

The projects are anticipated to begin in August, Capital Projects Program Manager Elijah Dorminy said.

The projects

The Bransford Road sidewalk will include an 18,000-square-foot walking path that will connect Colleyville City Park to Shelton Drive. Storm drainage improvements will occur from Leila Lane to Field Street. This project is expected to cost no more than $991,222 and come from Colleyville’s Capital Improvement Project funds, according to city documents.

The sidewalk construction on Montclair Drive will be along the eastern side from Hall Johnson to Glade Road. It will add new sidewalks in spots where there are no pedestrian sidewalks, city documents state.

The scope of the work includes drainage structures, grading and restoration of landscaping. The project is expected to cost no more than $507,993 and will come from Colleyville’s Capital Improvement Project Funds, according to city documents.

A pre-construction meeting will be held to determine the exact construction timeline for the sidewalks on Montclair Drive and Bransford Road, Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery said.

Also of note

The city set aside $521,460 for a 10-foot sidewalk on Cheek-Sparger Road from Silverwood Lane to Bedford Road, which is approximately 2.4 miles. Colleyville officials are seeking grants from the Texas Department of Transportation for this project, which is expected to cost $2.61 million.

Similarly, City Council set aside $80,116 to construct a sidewalk along Heritage Avenue from Cheek-Sparger Road to Guadalupe Drive to qualify for TxDOT grants to help fund the rest of the project, which is expected to cost $400,582.
