County and City Work to Reconstruct Highland Village Road

Denton County Commissioner Bobbie Mitchell and City Manager Michael Leavitt are pleased to announce that the County and City have begun the work to repair the damage to

Highland Village Road

from last month’s heavy rainfall. The County has entered into a design-build contract with Halff and Associates engineers and construction services with Saber Development to complete the repairs to the road.  The necessary improvements to the road include raising the road three and one-half feet in the vicinity of the boat docks so as to prevent future flooding of the roadway and disruption of emergency services. The project is scheduled to be completed by late March 2011 and will also include two new ten-foot wide drainage structures and a ten-foot wide trail.

 

 

The $1.78 million for the project was a City identified reconstruction project proposed and approved within the County 2008 TRIP Bond Program.

 

 

“We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to include this project in the 2008 County TRIP Bond Program. This area of roadway was identified for improvements and was on the schedule for re-construction,” stated Mayor Scott McDearmont. “The County has worked quickly to expedite the funding for this project.”

 

 

The project is being closely coordinated with the Lewisville Corps of Engineers. Attached is the breakdown of the construction sequencing.
