Gas main installation on Davis Drive from Roxborough Rd to Prospect St

June 25, 2013

As the installation of new segments of gas main along Davis Drive continues, crews will be working from Roxborough Road to Prospect Street for approximately a month and a half.

There will be eastbound and westbound curb lane closures between Roxborough Road and Prospect Street. Pedestrian access on the north side of Davis Drive will remain open.

Note: Access to all businesses will be maintained.

Work Dates: Beginning the week of June 24 to mid-August*

Work hours: 7am-7pm

Crews will be working in the following areas:
  • Along the north side of Davis Drive between Roxborough Road and Prospect Street, crews will be digging and drilling to install new gas pipes.
  • At the Prospect Street and Davis Drive intersection, crews will be digging across Prospect Street [just south of Davis Drive] for about a week. This work will be staged in two parts to maintain two-way traffic around the work zone. Access to Southlake Hospital from Prospect Street will not be affected.
  • Around the Davis Drive intersections of Bolton Avenue, Roxborough Road and Prospect Street [see map], crews will be digging 8 foot open pits in the boulevard and working around the intersections. These pits are gas connection points and will remain fenced off for the duration of the work.

Impacts during construction:
  • Please expect construction-related noise from equipment and trucks.
  • Westbound bus stops will be relocated to the locations on the map. Directional signs will guide pedestrians to the nearest open bus stop.
  • When sidewalk closures are required, please follow directional signs.
  • As required, a paid duty officer will be on site to direct traffic and pedestrians.
