Gus Thomasson Road (Karla Drive to Moon Drive) Reconstruction Project

The Plan: Reconstruction of Gus Thomasson Road from Karla Drive to Moon Drive. The reconstructed roadway will be a four-lane divided thoroughfare with the addition of a bicycle path, a wider sidewalk and other pedestrian improvements. In addition, drainage, water and sanitary sewer improvements are being made.

What's happening now: Paving is currently underway on Gus Thomasson Road and utility connections near Moon Drive are nearly finished.

What's next: Construction of sidewalk, cycle track and on-street parking will continue. Southbound lanes will be opened back up for traffic and switched over to the south side of Oates Drive for subgrade treatment and rehabilitation of street pavement. New water mains will be installed and connected to the existing system.

Estimated completion date: Traffic access to the western section of Gus Thomasson Road should be completed by July 2018 and the eastern section of Gus Thomasson Road by March 2019. The project is scheduled to be completed summer of 2019.

Motley Drive (Gus Thomasson Blvd. to Town East Blvd.) Reconstruction Project

The Plan: Reconstruction of Motley Drive from Gus Thomasson Boulevard to Town East Boulevard.

Town East Blvd. Phase 2 (U.S. 80 to Skyline Drive) Reconstruction Project

The Plan: The four-lane section from U.S. 80 to Skyline Drive will be reconstructed and pushed to the west side of the existing right-of-way to provide the maximum buffer between the industrial traffic and the residential neighborhood. This will allow the design to include a 12-foot wide multi-use pedestrian trail and an eight-foot screening wall to buffer residential properties.

What's happening now: Staff is working with the consultant to complete the design and reconstruction plans for the four-lane divided street section on Town East.

What's next: Project is currently under design. Final design will be completed at the end of this year and construction should begin the first quarter of 2019.

Estimated completion date: Summer 2020

Bruton Road, Northwest Drive and Kearney Street Mill and Asphalt Overlay Project

The Plan: Rehabilitation of approximately 58,000 square yards of major thoroughfares with spot concrete repairs, removal of the old asphalt surface by milling and applying a new 1-1/2 inch hot-mix asphaltic overlay on the following three roadways: 1) Northwest Drive from I-30 to Oates Drive; 2) Bruton Road from I-635 to Rodeo Center; and 3) Gross Road/Kearney Street from Galloway Avenue to I-635.
