Council Gets Update on Midway Road Construction Project

At the March 26 City Council Meeting, Assistant Director of Infrastructure and Engineering Services Jason Shroyer provided Council an update on the Midway Road reconstruction project design including the project scope and cost estimates, as well as the project schedule, communications plan, and anticipated land acquisition activities.

In 2012, Addison voters approved $16,000,000 in General Obligation bonds for the reconstruction of Midway Road from Spring Valley Road to Trinity Mills Road. In November 2018, Council directed the City Manager to proceed with the issuance of Certificates of Obligation in the amount of $25 million to completely fund the project. The 2012 bond program did not include the replacement of the utilities under the roadway or the increase in scope to accommodate the new Master Transportation Plan elements that are included as part of the current plan.

The project is now 90% designed and construction on the three-year project is estimated to begin in early 2020.  Additionally, in anticipation of the need to acquire right-of-way for the project, Council authorized City Manager Wes Pierson to execute the necessary easement and property acquisition agreements.
