FM 2499
In January, NorthGate Constructors opened the new, lowered southbound FM 2499 main lanes in Grapevine. Crews also placed concrete on the north side of the Grapevine Mills Boulevard bridge. At the south end of the project, crews finished building a new ramp from the southbound FM 2499 frontage road to the bridge that takes traffic to SH 114, SH 121 and I-635. In late February workers will move southbound FM 2499 traffic onto the new bridge over Denton Creek. Crews plan to open the new, lowered northbound FM 2499 main lanes in March. The FM 2499 construction includes rebuilding the main lanes of FM 2499 from SH 121 to Denton Creek. These new lanes will be lowered and will allow commuters to bypass the intersections of Stars and Stripes Way and Grapevine Mills Boulevard. The project also includes the rebuilding of FM 2499 frontage roads, and the two intersections rebuilt as bridges.

Pothole repair and general maintenance work on North White Chapel Boulevard from Southlake Boulevard to SH 114 in Southlake was scheduled to be complete by Feb. 12. The repairs address drive-quality issues along the street and fixing cracks. There was also new asphalt laid in sections along North White Chapel. The 1.3-mile project is a part of a city program in which residents as well as the city’s pavement assessment program identify streets in need of repair.
