Windhaven Parkway project nearing completion in Lewisville • A new roadway underpass • A stormwater lift station • Utilities • Other associated structures
The Windhaven Parkway at Kansas City Southern Railroad project in Lewisville is ahead of schedule. Lewisville’s City Engineer David Salmon said the project originally expected to be completed in December could be completed as early as March. What’s happening? Sundt Construction was awarded a $16.57 million contract for the project in 2022, according to previous Community Impact reporting. Its scope includes construction of: • A 1,500-foot extension of Windhaven Parkway from Cookie Lane to Brown Knight Lane • An approximately 100-foot-long railroad bridge • Construction and removal of temporary shoo y track • Permanent track
Salmon said the railroad bridge was inspected Jan. 17 and is 99% complete. He said a retaining wall is still being worked on, and road paving has begun. In a nutshell The project was broken into three volumes. The rst volume, which included utility reloca- tion, is complete. Volume two includes under- pass work, and volume three includes paving and draining. Part three consists of extending Windhaven Park- way, a four-lane, divided roadway underneath the railroad, near Independence Elementary School.
Construction crews work on Windhaven Parkway at Kansas City Southern Railroad in January. The project could be nished by early March, according to city o cials.
