A rehabilitation and resurfacing project along Burney Lane/Midway Road in Grapevine and Southlake could begin soon.
Grapevine City Council approved an interlocal agreement with Tarrant County for the project during the July 7 meeting. City officials have budgeted $230,000 in the permanent capital maintenance fund for the work.
The overview
The work will cover the rehabilitation of around 2,950 linear feet of Burney Lane/Midway Road from the intersection of Lonesome Dove Road in Southlake until Meadowmere Lane in Grapevine, according to city documents. Rehabilitation work will include milling the surface and stabilizing the subgrade.
Crews will also add a fresh layer of asphalt once the rehabilitation work is completed.
Under the interlocal agreement, Grapevine will pay for material and removal costs, half of the county’s fuel costs, traffic control and other needed items for the project, per city documents. Under the agreement, Tarrant County will perform a majority of the work, said John Robertson, Grapevine’s assistant director of public works.
Additionally, city officials plan to bring a separate interlocal agreement with Southlake that will include provisions for Southlake to fund up to $60,000 for the project.
Also of note
Robertson said the repairs are necessary because the road’s subgrade is failing in several areas, while there are also cracks along stretches of the street.
He added that there has also been more traffic on the roadway over the last few years.
Repair work could start in mid-August or early September before wrapping up in October, Robertson said.
