Beginning tonight, June 23, 2015 at approximately 8:00PM, construction crews will close FM 1938 (Randol Mill Avenue) north of the FM 1709 (Southlake Boulevard) intersection to just south of Johnson Road to perform storm drainage installation (see map). The road will remain closed to all traffic until approximately 6:00AM, Wednesday June 24, 2015.
Motorists can expect similar closures to occur late Wednesday (6/24) into early Thursday (6/25) morning, and late Thursday (6/25) into early Friday (6/26) morning. No work will be done Friday or Saturday and the work will not impact the Stars and Stripes event scheduled for Friday, July 3, 2015.
The storm drainage installation is expected to last approximately three weeks. During that time, this section of road will be closed nightly from Sunday through early Friday morning. If you have to travel in the area after 8:00PM on those days, please be aware of the closure and seek alternate routes.
Also remember to please slow down, obey warning signs, use caution, have patience while traveling through the construction area and do not cross barricades.

Beginning June 9, 2014, Randol Mill Avenue from Johnson Road to Florence Road will be closed to through traffic. This section of Randol Mill Avenue will be closed for about 60 days (weather permitting) as work crews construct water and sewer lines in preparation for TxDOT’s widening of Randol Mill Avenue (FM 1938 Phase II).
Closing the road is necessary due to the location of the existing water and sewer lines, which are currently under Randol Mill Avenue in the center of the two-lane roadway. An alternative to the closure was considered, but ultimately deemed too costly. Therefore, the road closure was determined to be the best solution.
Minimizing the impact of the Randol Mill Avenue closure to residents and motorists is a top priority. “We are working with the residents that are directly affected by this closure to mitigate the inconvenience as much as possible,” says Director of Public Works, Bob Price, P.E., N.S.P.E.
Measures to minimize the impact to residents and motorists include:
We ask for, and appreciate, your patience for the duration of the Randol Mill closure. If you’re traveling in the area, please observe the detours once construction begins.
