Bedford Euless Road Reconstruction

Project Overview & FAQs
Traffic on Bedford Euless Road has shifted to the southern side of the roadway between Booth Calloway Road and Strummer Drive, so that the contractor can work on the northern side of the street. Please slow down, watch for workers and pay extra attention when traveling in this area. The speed limit in the construction zone is reduced to 30 mph. Access to restaurants and other businesses on Bedford Euless will remain open throughout construction. Access to Colorado Boulevard and Strummer Drive from Bedford Euless will also remain open. Access to Maple Street, Nevada Trail, and Eldorado Drive from Bedford Euless will be closed during this phase of construction. Detour routes will be placed throughout the neighborhood. Reconstruction of Bedford Euless Road is part of the 2020 Street Bond Program.

Glenview Drive Reconstruction

Franchise utilities have begun relocating and improving utility infrastructure along Glenview Drive. This includes moving a 16” high-pressure gas line along with several smaller distribution lines.  After the franchise utility improvements are complete, Glenview will be reconstructed from Boulevard 26 to Flory Street and from Honey Lane to the western city limit. The existing asphalt roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement. Sidewalks will be reconstructed and added where they are currently missing. Reconstruction of Glenview is part of the 2020 Street Bond Program.

Upcoming Improvements

Hightower & Davis Traffic Signal

This project will consist of engineering and construction of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Davis Boulevard and Hightower Drive. At their Nov. 14, 2022 meeting, the City Council awarded a contract to Bean Electrical Inc. for the construction of the new traffic signal. Site work will begin in early 2023, however construction of the signal itself will not occur until summer. Signal poles and components are on order and are expected to arrive by June.

Iron Horse Boulevard Reconstruction

The reconstruction of Iron Horse Boulevard will be completed in two phases. The first phase will reconstruct Iron Horse Boulevard east of Rufe Snow Drive. The existing roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement and sidewalks will be added where currently missing. Based on the Vision 2030 Transportation Plan recommendation, the bulk of the roadway will be reconfigured to a wide two-lane configuration with a raised median. This project is funded in part by a grant from the Economic Development Administration. The second phase will reconstruct Iron Horse from Rufe Snow Drive west to Browning Drive. The existing roadway will be replaced with reinforced concrete pavement and sidewalks will be added. In late January, the city awarded a contract to The Fain Group, Inc., for the first phase. The contract will now go to the Economic Development Administration for their approval. The city will seek construction bids for the second phase later this year. 

Residential Street Reconstruction

The reconstruction of Stonybrooke Drive (from Stephanie Drive to Crestview Drive) and Nob Hill Drive will take place later this year. Both projects are part of the 2020 Street Bond Program. 

Davis Blvd at Northeast Parkway Deceleration Lane

Northeast Parkway was recently extended west of Davis Boulevard to provide access to the new Smithfield Elementary School.  A new traffic signal was activated at the intersection of Northeast Parkway and Davis Boulevard on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022.  A deceleration lane will also be added on southbound Davis for vehicles turning west onto Northeast Parkway once TxDOT approves the final plans and releases that permit.

Slurry Seal Maintenance

A slurry seal application was placed on several residential streets in early July 2022 as part of the ongoing  Preventive Street Maintenance Program .  Slurry seal is a thin asphalt overlay / seal coat that fills in small cracks and surface imperfections to give the roadway a uniform color and texture. Most importantly it seals the pavement, preventing the infiltration of water, which is the most frequent cause of pavement failure. This maintenance helps to preserve and extend the life of our neighborhood streets. Streets that received the slurry seal application included: 

• Bursey Ct, from Bursey Rd to the cul-de-sac; 
• Oak Ct, from Davis Blvd to the cul-de-sac; 
• Steeple Ridge Dr, from Shady Grove Rd to Ridge Run Dr; 
• Dogwood Ln, from Crosstimbers Ln to Meadowview Ter;
