A repaving project on Old Denton Road in northeast Fort Worth has been extended through March.

What happened

Fort Worth City Council approved the extension of the closure of Old Denton Road, between Westport Parkway and Day Road, during its Jan. 13 meeting.

According to city documents, the road will be closed until March 25.

The background


This project consists of three phases to demolish the existing bridge, rebuild a larger one and widen the existing Old Denton Road.

The closure was requested by the Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works Department on behalf of Frisco-based F.A. Peinado Construction, which is doing a repaving project that started May 20. The closure was set to end Jan. 22.

According to city documents, the extension was requested due to weather and unforeseen issues.
