FM 1938 Phase 2GCS Transportation updates


Construction at the FM 1938 and FM 1709 intersection in Southlake has reached substantial completion with all lanes opened at the end of December. Some daily lane closures during off-peak periods can still be expected to finish work in the medians, around the perimeter of the intersection and to place the permanent traffic signals. North of the intersection, crews continue to reconstruct the new southbound lanes between Fawkes Lane and Florence Road, which includes a new retaining wall located along the west side of FM 1938. Construction is also continuing on some of the remaining side streets connecting from the west side of FM 1938.
