Denton Creek Bridge project nears start A new bridge in west Flower Mound will begin construction sometime this year and will be ready for use next year. Flower Mound Town Council approved an amendment to the interlocal cooperation agree- ment with Denton County for the construction of the Denton Creek Boulevard Bridge. Bids were received April 2, town officials said. The specifics The project includes construction of a new multispan bridge, two 12-inch water lines, an 8-inch reuse water line, and a multiuse trail extension, according to project details. The bridge will be built on the north end of Denton Creek Boulevard. Design and right-of-way acquisition have been finalized. The budget is a little over $7 million, with funding coming from impact fees, Denton County bond money and project savings.
Council OKs access to road near school site First responders will have access to a road near a school site after a March 18 decision by Argyle Town Council. The details Council revisited a special-use permit concerning Argyle ISD property along FM 407, amending it to allow a gated emergency access for first responders via Postmaster Road. The vote also included allowing AISD officials the option to access Sam Davis Road for westbound traffic only, if they choose. Argyle ISD Superintendent Courtney Carpenter said the district agrees with the recommendation for emergency vehicles to use Postmaster Road to access the cam- puses. AISD is adding a middle school to the area and will eventually build an elementary school nearby.
