CONSTRUCTION GUIDECITY OF DENTON

2020

RECENTLY COMPLETED MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TOTAL MORE THAN $76 MILLION IN TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS

20202020 MIDYEAR UPDATE

While COVID-19 temporarily shut down various businesses and limited operations within the City, the pandemic also provided a small measure of good news when it came to vital transportation projects: it helped moved them forward. As streets and highways cleared out in accordance with social distancing and telecommuting orders, City crews and contractors adjusted to the new normal and were able to maintain or accelerate major construction project timelines without having to trigger major disruptions and traffic backups. Major City Transportation Projects Recently Completed Most major City transportation projects are bond-funded Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs). These voter-approved projects reflect the priorities and vision of the City from residents. Over the past several months, the City has completed one CIP and three phases of active CIPs, totaling more than $76 million in transportation improvements throughout the city of Denton.

ONE PROJECT, MULTIPLE IMPROVEMENTSThe majority of City-planned construction includes routine maintenance projects, such as street reconstruction, sidewalk enhancements, curb and gutter replacements, and water main and sewer system upgrades. Various City departments are involved in these infrastructure projects to ensure that when the project is completed, we will not need to to return for additional construction work in the near future. Listed below are recent completions and the tentative timelines for the upcoming phase of active and scheduled road projects. For current projects, the statuses listed reflects the quarter of the calendar year that the upcoming phase is expected to have a completed design and schedule for construction.

TXDOT PROJECT UPDATES

6

TEASLEY LANE/FM 2181: The relocation of City utilities along FM 2181 has been completed. TxDOT’s crews are currently completing the drainage improvements and constructing the new lanes of the roadway. Multiple traffic shifts are to be expected from now until the completion of the project in November 2021. Visit www.drivetexas.org, for the latest traffic and detour information.

US 377: In July 2020, northbound and southbound traffic on US 377 shifted to the newly constructed roadway to allow crews to safely build the southbound lanes. The traffic shift will be in place until the lanes move into the final configuration in early 2021. Final utility relocations have been completed, including water and sewer lines between FM 1830 and the recently demolished railroad underpass. In August 2020, TxDOT extended its working hours for the US 377 project to accelerate the progress of the project. The project is expected to be complete by January 2021.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19Most routine improvement projects—such as street microseals, sidewalk repairs, and underground utility maintenance—is completed by the City’s Public Works staff. These maintenance projects are typically funded through a department’s annual operating budget because the City anticipates them as costs associated with maintaining facilities and infrastructure.

To safeguard the health and safety of our community and field workers, City staff developed new safety protocols for field workers and support staff to perform their jobs safely. Based on guidance and best practices from local and federal agencies, below are some of the safety measures in place for the City’s Public Works staff to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

• Daily symptom screening and health checks;• Assigned Personal Protective Equipment (PPE); • City crews were directed to wear masks when

within 6 feet of each other on job sites;• Limited occupancy of vehicles to one person, if

possible. In the event that more than one employee is in a vehicle at a time, all employees in the vehicle must always wear face masks;

• Use of personal vehicles were temporarily permitted in the event that an employee preferred to maintain social distancing when traveling to job sites;

• All City vehicles are equipped with disinfection materials to be cleaned twice a day, at minimum;

• Office staff allowed to telecommute unless essential job duties were not able to be performed remotely; and

• Gloves must be worn when touching common surfaces.
