Northeast happenings: Glade Road, junk dump in Hurst, community blitz
Glade Road work set for Saturdays
It won’t be Saturdays off this month for some road crews in Colleyville as the city will continue with interim maintenance of east Glade Road.
The existing roadway will get a new asphalt surface which will mean a smoother ride for motorists.
Work to improve the roadway between Bluebonnet Drive and Pool Road will take place on Saturdays, April 22, April 29, and May 6, as needed. Construction will be limited to these individual days. The road will be closed to through traffic from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in order to perform the work in a safe manner.
During construction, residents and property owners that live in the area will be allowed access to and from their property. Postal service and emergency services will have access at all times. City staff recommends avoiding this route on the scheduled Saturdays. Motorists can detour through Hall-Johnson Road.
By performing the work on Saturdays versus a standard work day, work hours are not limited by peak hour traffic and the amount of traffic is greatly reduced.
