Bella Lane Extension Taking Shape

At its January 11 meeting, the City Council approved a contract for just under $3 million with Tiseo Paving Company for street paving, bridge installation, water and stormwater infrastructure, landscaping, and the construction of a detention pond associated with the Bella Lane South Extension and Alpha Road Connector Project. This project will extend Bella Lane in Addison through Brookhaven College to Alpha Road in Farmers Branch. The total project budget is $3.68M and is being shared between the Town of Addison ($1.6 million), UDR ($1.6 million), and Farmers Branch ($480,000). Addison's contribution is funded through bonds dedicated to Vitruvian development public infrastructure.

Construction work began in March 2022 and the contractor is making significant progress. The 14-acre-foot (over 600,000 cubic feet) detention pond has been excavated, all underground utilities are complete, and the roadway paving is over halfway done. The project is well on track to be completed prior to the March 2023 deadline.
