$2.2M Flower Mound Road construction to wrap up this summer
Construction crews with F&F Concrete Construction started working on the outside eastbound travel lane of Flower Mound Road between Old Settlers Road and Arbor Creek Lane in early June. The details During construction, the inside eastbound lane will be open to traf- fic, but the south side of the Arbor Creek intersection will be closed, per the news release. Similar to the first four phases of construction, concrete panel replacements are planned for the road segment. “We’re replacing the failed con- crete panels as part of our ongoing maintenance program to extend the overall life of the roadway and avoid more costly full reconstruc- tion in the future,” Flower Mound’s Communications Director Melissa
Demmitt said in an email. Traffic delays during the project are expected and work crews will post detour signage for alternate routes around the construction area. The estimated cost for the final phase of construction is $500,000. Demmitt said the entire Flower Mound Road concrete panel replacement project costs $2.2 million and is funded through the town’s sales tax dedication to street maintenance. Looking ahead The final phase of the project is expected to wrap up by the end of July, Demmitt said. “This work has been scheduled over the summer months to mini- mize disruption, particularly with school out of session,” she said.
