Sharon,
Please see attached for the revised press released. I thought we might want to change the heading but could not think of a good
one...
Thank You, George
Brick Paver Replacement
Denton Tap/Belt Line Intersection To Temporarily Close
The City's Engineering Department is preparing for reconstruction of the intersection of
Belt Line and Denton Tap Roads. This project will include the replacement of the intersection’s
brick pavers with stamped concrete pavement. Anticipated start date is on or around June 6.
In order to perform this work, the contractor will need to temporarily close
various lanes of traffic. One lane of traffic will be allowed northbound and southbound on Denton
Tap Road/S. Belt Line Road at all times. Southwestern Blvd. will be closed from its intersection
with Denton Tap/Belt Line to a point just east of its intersection with Bullock Street. E. Belt Line
Road will be closed from its intersection with Denton Tap/Belt Line to the east, approximately
100 feet, where the median will be cut to allow traffic to make a u-turn.
Vehicles traveling southbound on Denton Tap seeking access to E. Belt Line will be
detoured south, through the intersection and east, through a temporary traffic signal, on Sanders
Loop up to E. Belt Line Road. Vehicles traveling southbound on Denton Tap seeking access to
Southwestern Blvd. will be able to turn west onto the old, one-way, section of Southwestern, just
south of Dairy Queen.
Vehicles traveling northbound on S. Belt Line Road seeking access to E. Belt Line Road
will be detoured at Sanders Loop and up to E. Belt Line Rd. Vehicles traveling northbound on S.
Belt Line Road, seeking access to Southwestern Blvd. will be detoured at Airline Drive.
Vehicles traveling westbound on E. Belt Line will be detoured south on Sanders Loop.
Vehicles traveling from the west seeking access to Denton Tap or S. Belt Line should use Bethel
Road or Airline Drive.
Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes during construction.
Once the road closure begins, the contractor will have 30 calendar days to re-establish all
lanes of traffic through the intersection and will receive an incentive/disincentive bonus based on
this time. Drivers will soon see message boards and signage along Denton Tap and Belt Line
Roads informing the traveling public about the scheduled closure.
Please note that Texas Transportation Code states the following:
Sec. 545.423. CROSSING PROPERTY. (a)
An operator may not cross a sidewalk or
drive through a driveway, parking lot, or
business or residential entrance without
stopping the vehicle. (b) An operator may not
cross or drive in or on a sidewalk, driveway,
parking lot, or business or residential
entrance at an intersection to turn right or left
from one highway to another highway.
For the safety of the people and
vehicles in the businesses at this intersection,
motorists should not cut through parking lots
to gain access to Denton Tap Rd. The
Coppell Police Department will monitor this
area and enforce the law.
