Roads in and around Denton: Construction Projects & Dates
With all the cones in the roads and detours, it sure would be nice to know, BEFORE heading out, where to avoid. To find out more about projects that have begun or are planned to begin, visit the Capital Projects Map located at https://www.discussdenton.com/hub-page/improvingdenton

2)To accommodate mobility needs, Bonnie Brae Street is being expanded from a two-lane undivided rural roadway to a four-lane divided urban street. https://www.discussdenton.com/bonniebraestreet This six-phase project has three phases completed (1,2 & 4A), Phase 3 is currently in the bid phase with construction expected to begin in January 2023. Below are the project limits and status for each phase.
PROJECT PHASES & STATUS
Phase 1 (Roselawn to North of Vintage Boulevard) – COMPLETE
Phase 2 (I-35W TO US 377 Includes Vintage Blvd) – COMPLETE
Phase 3 (Roselawn to IH-35E) | Project Timeline: 2023 – 2026
3)Hickory Creek Interceptor (HCI) Capital Improvement Project Program is a multi-phased sanitary sewer project. The existing interceptor was installed in the 1980s. The new construction will add capacity and improve wastewater services to accommodate future growth projected to occur in the Hickory Creek Basin.
Hickory Creek Interceptor Phase 1&2 Project Status
HCI 1 & 2 includes the replacement of approximately 13,000 linear feet (2.46 miles) of 36, 42, 48 and 54-inch sewer mains along Hickory Creek from Fort Worth Drive (US 377) to I-35W. Construction is ongoing and the project is expected to be complete the first of the new year (2023)
Hickory Creek Interceptor Phase 3 Project Status
HCI 3 will continue from HCI 1&2 to the north extending the planned improvements to upgrade the Hickory Creek Interceptor Corridor. Installation of approximately 9,700 LF of 30-inch sewer line with an improved alignment to replace the existing 12-inch sewer main and the rehabilitation of an existing 12-inch sewer line that crosses the creek. Utilities, THC, and TxDOT are clear.
The project has started advertising process. Staff evaluated the scope of the project and recommended using CSP (Competitive Sealed Proposal) instead of IFB (Invitation For Bid or “low bid”). CSP will allow staff to consider the contractor’s staff, project workload, and history within our highly competitive market without price being the sole consideration.

hickory creek update!
The Hickory Creek Road Phase 2 (West) project is from west of Teasley Lane to Riverpass Road/FM 2499. https://www.discussdenton.com/hickory-creek-road-phase-2-westThe project will improve mobility and safety in the area by expanding the existing roadway to include four main lanes, a median, storm drain system, a bridge, and turn lanes. If necessary, there will be room to construct two additional inside lanes (one in each direction) in the future.
In addition to the new roadway, the project includes 4,000 linear feet of storm drain (18-48 inches in diameter). A portion of the 10-foot sidewalk was constructed last summer and is excluded from the scope of this project. The drainage system that will be constructed is designed to provide capacity for the 100-year storm event. In addition, a new bridge will be constructed next to the existing bridge over Fletcher Branch to carry the Eastbound traffic.
