The city of Grapevine will partner with Tarrant County for one road project and got approval to apply for another during the Feb. 17 council meeting.
Council approved a contract for road work from the 50th year of the Community Development Block Grant program during the meeting.
What’s happening?
Dallas-based Jeske Construction was awarded a $683,520 contract for road repairs on Austin Street, from Franklin Street to where Austin Street dead ends at the TEXRail rail tracks, which run to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
Public Works Director Bryan Beck said the project provides for the reconstruction of 800 linear feet of road that will include new curbs and gutters, sidewalks, barrier-free ramps and driveway approaches.
City documents state the Grapevine portion will cost $578,711, and Tarrant County will pay $104,809.
Beck said the project is expected to start in May and will take six months to complete.

Council approved the application for the 52nd year of the Community Development Block Grant program with Tarrant County.
