The same is expected from Colleyville Terrace to Church Street-but one lane will remain open in this section as well.

BEDFORD ROAD/CHEEK-SPARGER ROUNDABOUT
This project is tied to the development of Heritage Farms on the northwest corner of the intersection. The developer was gearing up to begin construction this summer, but didn’t make the required start time (at the end of the school year). At this point, we believe this project will begin next summer.
