Carpe Diem Driveway Closure due to FM 1938 construction
Driveway access to the Carpe Diem Preschool will be blocked due to TxDOT roadway construction on FM 1938.
Beginning Thursday, February 18, 2016, TxDOT contractors will close the driveway access at the Carpe Diem Preschool on FM 1938 – located on the northwest corner of the intersection of FM 1938 and Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) – in order to re-construct the driveway and pave this area of FM 1938.
Access to the driveway will be restricted beginning at 9:00am on February 18, and the driveway will remain closed for approximately two weeks, weather permitting.
TxDOT asks that motorists please use the alternate driveway access during this time and to continue to exercise caution when traveling through the construction area.
For questions about this closure or the FM 1938 project itself, please contact Stephen Ranft, TXDOT Mobility Coordinator, at 817-462-0520 and fm1938mobility.com
TxDOT will close the outside lane of traffic on southbound FM 1938 at the Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) intersection tomorrow, December 11, 2015.
Starting at 9:00am, the outside lane of FM 1938 at the northwest corner of the FM 1709 intersection will act as a staging area for trucks and workers clearing construction debris. The lane closure is expected to last until 3:30pm.
Traffic will be affected for the duration of this closure and delays are likely. Please exercise caution when traveling in the area. Lane closures and traffic switches are subject to changes due to weather and schedule.

TxDOT will be closing some access driveways on FM 1938, south of Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709), as part of the FM 1938 Phase II construction project.
Upcoming driveway closures for the week of October 19, 2015
Beginning the week of October 19, 2015, the middle access driveway on the east side of FM 1938 (Davis Blvd) south of FM 1709 (Southlake Blvd) is planned to be temporarily closed for approximately four days in order to perform storm drainage installation. During this time, the southern access driveway (near MOOYAH) will be open to provide access from FM 1938 (see picture for driveway closure/open locations).
Once the installation of the storm drain is complete, the two driveways will revert back to the previous configuration. All other driveway configurations will remain as shown until further notice while construction activity continues in this area. Please use alternate driveways to access your destination.
The FM 1938 project continues to roll along, making significant progress and we appreciate your continued patience going forward. The project, once finished, will improve mobility greatly at the intersection of FM 1709/FM 1938 and north along FM 1938 (Davis Boulevard).

(main) Suggested alternate route to Florence Elementary; (Inset) Zoomed in view of FM 1938/Southlake intersection
School is set to start Monday, August 24, 2015, but with construction on northbound FM 1938 and at the intersection of FM 1938 and Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709), getting to one campus – Florence Elementary – may be a little tricky if you’re used to taking Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) westward to Pearson Lane or FM 1938 north to Johnson Road.
The construction at the intersection of FM 1938 and Southlake Boulevard and the closing of Johnson Road off FM 1938 planned for the week of August 31, 2015 will make accessing the campus difficult if you’re coming from Southlake. With that in mind, parents are advised to seek alternate routes to the Florence Elementary campus.
The City is suggesting motorists take westbound Florence Road to southbound N. Pearson Lane. From Pearson Lane, access to Florence Elementary can be made in the following ways:
Construction surrounding these locations will continue for at least the next year.
Keller residents may notice increased traffic in the area as these alternate routes are utilized. Please allow for enough time to reach your destination.
For questions about the FM 1938 project, TxDOT has appointed a mobility coordinator named Stephen Ranft. He can be reached at fm1938mobility@gmail.com or 817-462-0520.
