Cheek-Sparger Road plans short by $11.3M A road block has complicated reconstruction plans for Cheek-Sparger Road after the city of Bedford did not budget finances for the project, Colleyville Assistant City Manager Mark Wood said at the Oct. 15 work session. Without help from Bedford officials and accounting for inflation, the project now is $11.3 million short. Current situation According to Wood, Bedford officials lost interest since such a small part of the road is in Bedford. If they do offer funds, they only want to pay for 5%. This means that they would pay $1.69 million for the project instead of the $6.5 million that was originally discussed. The estimated cost of the project is $33.8 million, up from the budgeted $26 million set in 2021.
