MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering /Public Works
DATE: April 12, 2011
REF: Discussion regarding restricting access through the Belt Line Road, Denton
Tap Road and Southwestern Blvd. intersection for the reconstruction of the
intersection with stamped concrete.
Staff has been working on the design to remove and replace the pavers at the intersection of Belt
Line/Denton Tap /Southwestern and reconstruct the intersection similar to the one at Sandy Lake
and Denton Tap Road. It is anticipated that the project will be bid sometime during April 2011,
so the successful responsible low bidder will be able to start work in the early summer. This will
allow completion prior to the start of school in August 2011.
The closure will be very similar to the one employed at the intersection of Sandy Lake and
Denton Tap Road last summer. At least one lane of traffic will be allowed north and south on
Denton Tap/Belt Line at all times. In an effort to expedite the traffic movement, the traffic
signal operation will be manipulated to provide mostly green time for the north and south
movement. The incoming traffic from E. Belt Line Road headed westbound from MacArthur
Blvd. would be detoured at Sanders Loop down to the intersection of Sanders Loop and S. Belt
Line Road. Because that intersection is not signalized, it would be very difficult for vehicles to
merge into the traffic; therefore, temporary traffic signals will be placed at the intersection of
Sanders Loop and S. Belt Line Road to allow traffic from Sanders Loop to enter S. Belt Line
Road. This traffic signal will be coordinated with the one immediately south at the intersection
of Airline Drive and S. Belt Line Road to allow for an orderly progression of traffic. Traffic that
is normally on Southwestern Blvd. will begin being re- routed at the intersection of Southwestern
and Freeport Parkway, either north to Bethel Road or south to Airline Drive. Traffic headed
southbound on Coppell Road and any traffic generated by the businesses along Southwestern
Blvd., between Coppell Road and Denton Tap Road, will be detoured west to Freeport Parkway
and again north or south to Bethel Road or Airline Drive.
It is anticipated that this project will take approximately the same time as the one at Sandy Lake
and Denton Tap Road, given good weather during the course of the project. Last summer, we
were fortunate that there were very few rain events and no rain events that entirely shut down
work during the construction. The goal is to have all contracts in place prior to June 6, 2011 and
the intersection open prior to the start of school in August. This project will be incentivized with
bonuses to encourage the expediting of the construction.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.
