City of Southlake

Project Information:

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will be making improvements to FM1938. The FM1938 improvement is an important project for the City of Southlake and northeast Tarrant County. It is regionally significant because it will provide an additional north-south thoroughfare between SH360 and US377.

Improvements will begin at SH114 and extend south to Southlake Blvd. (FM1709) in Southlake. Phase 1 construction will begin in Westlake. The limits of Phase 1 will be from SH114 to the "Randol Mill Bend". Phase 2 of the project will begin at the "Randol Mill Bend" and extend to Southlake Blvd. (FM1709).

The new roadway will be a variable-width, divided, thoroughfare with a center median. The roadway will consist of 6 travel lanes from SH114 to Dove Road and 4 lanes from Dove Road to FM1709. The pavement will be concrete with curb and gutter including an enclosed storm drain system and turn lanes at intersections.

Phase 2 of the project also includes:

• Installation of a 12 inch water line along the east side of Randol Mill Ave. from the Randol Mill Bend to FM1709.
• Construction of an 8 foot trail along the east side of Randol Mill from the Randol Mill Bend to FM1709.
