City staff recently presented an overview of recently completed, on-going, and upcoming infrastructure projects to City Council.
“There are lots of good things going on to improve the quality of life for all our residents,” Mayor Scott Cain said.
Upcoming Projects
Projects in the Design/Planning Stage
Downtown Improvements Project
The City is planning to repair and improve sidewalks in the downtown district. The plan includes replacing sidewalks along Henderson, Chambers and the Downtown Square. City Council is considering expanding the repairs to other side streets in the downtown district as well.
Sparks Drive Construction Project
The city is in the process of designing a 2,000 linear feet of concrete paving, a bridge, and storm sewer on Sparks Drive east of the Chisholm Trail highway.
Cleburne Street Maintenance Program
The City uses multiple road maintenance techniques to manage street infrastructure. These techniques include street reconstruction, where crews rebuild a road; micro-surfacing, where the city places a fresh layer of asphalt on an existing road; and mill and overlay, where crews remove a layer of the roadway before installing a new driving surface.
2018 Micro-Surfacing Project
Public Works plans to resurface 3.3 miles of roadways across the city this November with an expected construction duration of 2 weeks. The roads included are Granbury Street, Boone Street, Hillsboro Street, Prairie Avenue, South Ridgeway Drive, Olive Street, and South Colonial Drive.
2018 Street Mill & Overlay Project
Commuters can expect mill and overlay work to begin across the city in early 2019. In this work, crews remove the top layer of a roadway and then place a new layer of driving surface. The roads included are West Industrial Boulevard, North Angling Street, Prairie Street, North Ridgway Drive, Berkley Drive, Chase Avenue, South Washington Street, South Colonial Drive, Granbury Street, Woodard Avenue, and Yellow Jacket Drive.
