Construction on West Shore Drive between Arapaho Road and Lakeview Drive and Newberry Drive between West Shore Drive and Brookhurst Drive began this spring. The work on both streets is expected to cost over $6.8 million and will be funded through the 2021 bond.
The overview
During the reconstruction work on both Newberry Drive and West Shore Drive, water mains and sewer mains will be replaced. Along with the water and sewer infrastructure improvements, necessary storm drain system repairs will take place on West Shore Drive.
Between Lakeview Drive and the end of a cul-de-sac, an asphalt overlay along West Shore Drive is also planned, according to the project map.
Digging deeper
Two further road reconstruction projects costing over $2.5 million in 2021 bond funding are also underway in the city. Richardson City Council approved a construction contract during the July 8 meeting.
A separate segment of Newberry Drive between North Floyd Road and North Lindale Lane and a portion of Royal Crest Drive between North Grove Road and the end of a cul-de-sac will be fully reconstructed.
Looking ahead
The reconstruction of Newberry drive between North Floyd Road and North Lindale Lane and along Royal Crest Drive is scheduled to wrap up around the end of the year.
Construction on the West Shore Drive and Newberry Drive between West Shore Drive and Brookhurst Drive is expected to be completed next spring, according to the city’s website.
