City Council has approved an Engineering Services Agreement with Freese and Nichols to provide third-party construction management services for the second phase of the widening of N. White Chapel Boulevard which includes expanding the road from Emerald Boulevard to Highland Street.
The widening project is a part of the City’s Mobility Master Plan and will expand the current two-lane road to a four-lane road.
“Improving mobility in Southlake is one of our top priorities,” stated Public Works Director Rob Cohen, “With that in mind, this project is going to help improve the connectivity between FM 1709 and SH 114. The expanded roadway is also going to help improve school traffic in front of the high school.”
The plan will also include landscaped medians, a replacement screening wall on the East side of N. White Chapel Boulevard and sidewalks will be added to accommodate pedestrian traffic for the school. The temporary traffic signal at Ascot Drive will also become a permanent installation.
To add, the franchise utility companies are currently relocating both the gas and communication lines in the construction zone.
This project is scheduled to start in the Spring of 2019. For updates, follow Southlake Mobility on Facebook and visit www.ConnectSouthlake.com
