RE: Consideration and approval of a request to temporarily close Bethel Road from
Grapevine Creek eastward to Denton Tap Road.
Date: July 27, 1993
This agenda item is brought forth to request approval to temporary close Bethel Road from
Grapevine Creek to Denton Tap Road. This request is necessitated by the installation of the
Grapevine Creek Sewer Trunk Main. The plans for the project show the sewer line to be
installed in the north portion of Bethel Road. The depth of cut ranges from approximately 23
feet to 31 feet. To install the sewer line at this depth will require large equipment and the stock
piling of a tremendous amount of dirt and the storage of materials.
For the safety of the motoring public, it is the opinion of the Engineering Department that the
best and most prudent construction process would be to close Bethel Road for the time it takes
the contractor to install the sewer line. It is anticipated that when the contractor starts on Bethel
Road, the road will be closed for approximately six weeks. Prior to the closure of the road,
adequate notification will be provided via the paper and also adequate signage with detours
would be provided. It is anticipated that the traffic will be detoured at Coppell Road south to
Southwestern Blvd. and back north on Denton Tap (see attached exhibit). There are no homes
between this area that would need access to their property. The major inconvenience will be to
the motoring public. We took traffic counts on Suly 15, 1993 and the counts show that there
are 5876 vehicles that use this section of Bethel Road (see attached traffic count). Obviously,
the closure of the road will be an inconvenience to the motoring public.
Staff recommends approval of this request and will be available to answer any questions at the
City Council meeting.
