Construction Begins on Belt Line Road 1.5 Beautification Project

Construction of the Belt Line 1.5 enhancements recently got underway. When completed, Addison residents, business owners, and guests will enjoy a unified design that includes shaded bus shelters, improved sidewalk connectivity, additional seating, site furnishings, paving enhancements and landscape enhancements. The contractor is currently pouring the foundation for a gateway sign that will welcome visitors as they enter Addison near the intersection of Marsh Lane and Belt Line Road. Once the concrete has cured, masonry work will begin on the sign.

As a part of this project, you may notice that DART is removing bus shelters along the corridor. This is to make way for larger shelters and seating that will be installed. The stops have been relocated adjacent to their original location, but this will not impact DART service.

The project is scheduled to be complete in early July, but the bus shelters may be delayed due COVID-19-related issues.
