The rehabilitation of Bandit Trail from Overland Trail to John McCain Road in Colleyville continues as Tarrant County places new asphalt on the road during early March. In February, crews began removing pavement and subgrade. The project includes regrading, reshaping and priming the roadbed as well as installing an asphalt surface.

Brumlow Avenue


The city of Southlake, along with Tarrant County, is making progress on widening Brumlow Avenue from just north of SH 26 to north of Westwood Antiques. Franchise utilities from Southlake Storage north to Alpine Materials will need to be moved as to not conflict with the work on the west side of Brumlow, and that will happen in March. Once that is done, work on the west side of Brumlow will continue. When complete the project will widen approximately 1,400 linear feet of Brumlow by expanding that segment of the existing road into four divided lanes. The expansion of this segment of Brumlow is necessary to accommodate proposed changes to traffic patterns in Southlake. In addition to widening the existing street, the project will include relocating city hydrants and water meters. There will also be trees planted on the west side of the road to improve the aesthetics.
