Colleyville officials stated at the Oct. 21 meeting that the Glade Road resurfacing project will begin next month.

Council also approved $885,590 in Texas Department of Transportation funds for landscaping along SH 121 and SH 26, as well as approved a separate agreement for maintaining pavement markings and signage on railroad crossings.

What’s happening?

Glade Road pavement resurfacing will begin Nov. 3 in Colleyville and finish up Nov. 5, council member Tim Raine said. One lane will be shut down between 7 a.m.-4 p.m. during construction, he said.

Glade Road resurfacing will start from the roundabout at Jackson Road and Pool Road to Strathmore Terrace. Work will include replacing the asphalt, Public Works Director Lisa Escobedo said.

“This essential maintenance will lead to a smoother and safer ride, and reduce the long-term cost by delaying the need for a complete street replacement,” Raine said.

The project is expected to cost $124,718, which will come from the city’s Capital Project Fund, according to city documents.

Tarrant County will provide the labor and equipment, and the city will be responsible for costs associated with materials, traffic control, flaggers and disposal fees for waste materials generated during the project, city documents state.

More details

Colleyville council approved a funding agreement with TxDOT to pay for a portion of the landscaping along SH 26 from Tennison Parkway to south of John McCain Road, and along SH 121 from north of Gateway Drive to Connecting Road, according to city documents.

The total funds received for these two projects is $885,590, Escobedo said. The two projects are expected to cost over $1 million, with Colleyville paying $123,000 using Tax Increment Finance funds, according to city documents.

What else?

Colleyville council approved an agreement with TxDOT for upgrading the pavement markings and signage at all three railroad crossings at Bransburg Road, Pleasant Road and John McCain Road, Escobedo said.

The markings and signage will likely be updated in 2-3 years at no cost to the city, Escobedo said.
