Here are the details for two ongoing construction projects and one upcoming project in Lewisville and Coppell.
Ongoing projects
1. Moore Road panel replacement
Maintenance panel replacement work on Moore Road between Sandy Lake Road and Bethel School Road is underway in Coppell. The first phase will span from Quail Lane to Sandy Lake Road, and the second phase will include Quail Lane to Shadowcrest Lane, according to city officials. The remaining work in the school zone will take place over the summer. The project will lead to lane closures and detours throughout its duration. Maintenance is intended to extend the life of the roadway.
Timeline: June-fall
Cost: $2.29 million
Funding source: City of Coppell, Dallas County
2. DART Silver Line construction
Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s construction crews completed work on the railroad crossing at Mockingbird Lane and East Belt Line Road in June. The road closure was necessary so crews could raise and set a new track. DART is constructing a Silver Line station in the Cypress Waters area. The 26-mile hybrid rail line will stretch from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Plano, spanning multiple counties.
Timeline: 2019-26 (entire Silver Line project)
Cost: $1.8 billion
Funding source: DART
Upcoming project
3. Civic Circle and Valley Parkway reconstruction
Lewisville City Council approved an interlocal cooperation agreement for the Civic Circle and Valley Parkway reconstruction project June 5. The project’s scope includes reconstructing Civic Circle from Main Street to Valley Parkway and Valley Parkway from Main Street to College Street. The pavement is in poor condition, and the water main underneath Valley Parkway has had several main breaks and is at the end of its life, according to the city. The project is tied to the construction of the new Tittle McFadden Public Safety Complex, which is expected to open in late 2024.
Timeline: construction expected to start in fall
Cost: $6.5 million
