Update 11/26/2024: Great news! The work is now complete, and both Byron Nelson Parkway and Diamond Boulevard have reopened. Thank you for your patience as we finished this important work. The Byron Nelson Deceleration Lane project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
We understand the delays on the Byron Nelson Deceleration Lane project have been frustrating, and we sincerely appreciate your patience. To move this project forward, contractors will work on the electrical infrastructure near the intersection of F.M. 1709 and Byron Nelson on Tuesday, November 26, for approximately six hours beginning at 9 a.m. During this time, access to both Byron Nelson Pkwy. and Diamond Blvd. at F.M. 1709 will be closed. F.M. 1709 will remain open in both directions. Signs will be in place to guide drivers through the detours. Please see the detour map below. We encourage drivers to use caution when driving in this area as our workers are present.
This latest step in the project is scheduled during Thanksgiving break to reduce impact. We expect this project to be completed by the end of the year. Thank you for your continued understanding.
Plans to continue to improve sidewalks and mobility in Southlake are in the works!
As a part of the Turn Lanes Project, contractors will install 100 feet of additional sidewalk at the Byron Nelson Parkway site starting in Spring 2023.
Road reconstruction on Southlake Boulevard is set to follow. In a recent traffic study, contractors discovered the traffic flow was heavily impacted by motorists turning right onto Southridge Lakes and Byron Nelson Parkway.
To ease congestion and improve mobility, plans to construct deceleration lanes on Southlake Boulevard at the Southridge Lakes Parkway and Byron Nelson Parkway right-turn sections will take place. Construction is set to start in Spring 2023.
The sidewalk located on N. Peytonville Avenue will also receive a mini makeover. Contractors will close the sidewalk gap and connect the sidewalk on the northeast corner of the intersection starting in Spring 2023.
