Project Background
In 2012, Addison voters approved $16 million in General Obligation bonds for the reconstruction of Midway Road from Spring Valley Road to Keller Springs Road. In November 2018, the City Council directed the City Manager to proceed with the issuance of Certificates of Obligation in the amount of $25 million to completely fund the project. The 2012 bond program did not include the replacement of the utilities under the roadway or the increase in scope to accommodate the new Master Transportation Plan elements that are included as part of the current plan.
Council gave notice of their intention to issue $15 million in Certificates of Obligation in July 2019. Dallas County has recently awarded Addison a $2.7 million grant dedicated to building a trail that will connect to the trail adjacent to the Silver Line.

The traffic configuration will have one lane of traffic in each direction and a continuous left turn lane in the center.
Drivers should pay close attention to the traffic control and lane assignments in this area and observe the location of signal heads and directional signage at the intersections.
October 21, 2022
Work on the Midway Road Revitalization project continues to progress. Crews are working on the reconstruction of the main lane paving and amenities for the section of Midway from Spring Valley Road to Belt Line Road. The road paving is completed from Spring Valley Road to Proton Drive, except for a couple of driveways and leave-outs that are still in progress. The medians and crossover areas will be constructed next, with street lighting, landscape, irrigation, sidewalks, ramps, and trail to follow.
Construction will then move north to the section of Midway from Proton Drive to Belt Line Road. Traffic will be switched over to the northbound lanes and the southbound lanes will be closed to allow the demolition and reconstruction of the main lane paving, followed by the other project amenities. Once this is completed, the traffic will be shifted to the newly constructed southbound lanes and the northbound lanes will be closed as the construction continues.
The Contractor has also made significant progress in the northern segment of the project from Keller Springs Road to Belt Line Road with the installation of the water mains, sanitary sewer mains, and storm sewer improvements This will allow the paving operation to begin along this section sooner than scheduled.
The project schedule anticipated that main lane construction from Spring Valley Road to Belt Line Road would be completed by the end of 2022. As with any large project in an urban environment, several challenges and events have delayed the paving process:
- Utility Relocation: The number of underground franchise and private utilities in the corridor is staggering and many lines were actually buried shallower than the plans shared by providers showed them to be. In order to protect lines from damage, crews have had to hand dig in several areas.
- Weather: Winter storm events in 2021 and 2022, as well as a couple of months of record rainfall, also contributed to the challenges and delays for the project. Any rain during the demolition and subgrade stabilization process can delay work for several days.
- Material and Labor Shortages: Like many projects around the country, supply chain issues, material and labor shortages, and lost time for workers with COVID have also contributed to challenges and delays.
The newly adjusted schedule now predicts that the main lane paving operation from Spring Valley Road to Belt Line Road will be completed by the end of March 2023, a delay of three months from what was previously communicated. The Town and its contractor are exploring options to advance construction to still meet the original project completion date of February 2024.
September 29, 2022
Work to Begin on South Side of Proton Intersection on September 30.
As the main lane paving for the southbound lanes on Midway Road from Spring Valley to Proton continues, the next work activity is the removal and replacement of the south side pavement of the Proton intersection.

Drivers should pay close attention to the directions provided by the flaggers during these times
June 9, 2022 Update
Pavement replacement for the Midway Road Revitalization Project began on Thursday, June 9. The two easternmost northbound lanes from Hornet Road to Proton Drive were the first lanes placed. The concrete placements will continue from Hornet Road to Spring Valley Road in phases until all northbound lanes are constructed. You will notice that some areas were skipped in the current paving process. Those areas were left to allow access to the adjacent businesses and will be completed at various phases to assure continuous access to those businesses. Please note that once the new concrete is placed, it will be required to “cure” (to attain the specified compressive strength) prior to vehicles being allowed on the new pavement. As the pavement replacement is completed, the sidewalks, ramps, retaining walls, and other amenities will be completed along the eastern side of the northbound lanes.
The new sanitary sewer lines continue to be installed from Beltway Drive to Belt Line Road and utility crews are working to complete the installation of the new water and sanitary sewer lines in the northern segment of the project between Keller Springs Road and Belt Line Road. On-going DART Silver Line construction also continues just north of the Arapaho Bridge crossing.
May 27, 2022 Update

May 24, 2022 Update
As the Utility Phase of the Midway Road Revitalization Project continues, it is necessary to allow only right turns at the Beltway Drive / Midway Road intersection on Thursday, May 26 and Friday, May 27 between 8am and 4pm, depending on the weather. Drivers will be detoured to the next median opening and a U-Turn will be required to complete the detour.
May 19, 2022 Update
The recent rains slowed the Midway Road Revitalization process temporarily, but now that the construction area has dried out, the paving crew is ready to begin the soil stabilization and paving process for the northbound lanes from Spring Valley to Proton. They will be stabilizing the soil subgrade using a process called "lime stabilization" where a lime solution is mixed into the soil and allowed to “cook” (a chemical reaction between the soil and the lime that reduces the shrink/swell tendencies of the soil). After “cooking” for several days, the treated soil is then re-mixed and compacted to complete the stabilization process.
Next, the reinforcing steel and formwork for the pavement will be installed. Finally, the concrete will be placed and will be required to “cure” (to attain the specified compressive strength) prior to vehicles being allowed on the new pavement. After the main lane pavement is complete, the Proton intersection will require a short-term closure of the eastern side of the intersection for the construction of the intersection paving. Additional details will be provided prior to this short-term closure.
Once the northbound lanes from Spring Valley to Proton are complete, traffic will be switched over to the newly paved side and the southbound lanes from Spring Valley to Proton will be demolished and removed to allow for drainage improvements and pavement to be completed in this phase of the project. Additional details will be provided prior to the traffic switch to begin this work.
Utility crews continue to work on the installation of the new water and sanitary sewer lines north of the area being paved and the ongoing DART SilverLine construction continues just north of the Arapaho Bridge crossing.
April 29, 2022 Update
The construction team anticipates having the majority of the construction south of Belt Line Road completed by the end of 2022. The phasing for this part of the project has recently been revised to help minimize the impact on the public. The northbound lanes from Spring Valley Road to Proton Road are currently under construction. Crews will then move to the southbound lanes between Spring Valley and Proton. Once the southernmost part of the project is completed, they will move back to the northbound lanes from Proton to Belt Line and finish this segment of the project with the southbound lanes from Belt Line to Proton. The contractor anticipates spending roughly 90 days in each section.
This revision will allow for the reconstruction of the intersection at Hornet Lane to be completed while Greenhill School is out for the summer and minimize the amount of construction adjacent to Belt Line Road during Kaboom Town!

May 24, 2021 Update
Over the past several months, construction crews have been working in two areas on the Midway Road Revitalization project. They initially started in the intersection of Midway and Belt Line roads but needed to temporarily shift priorities due to several reasons.
The first portion of work in the intersection is the replacement and realignment of multiple water mains that serve large portions of the Town. After construction initially began on the intersection, it was discovered that extra investigation and planning were necessary to minimize the time nearby restaurants and hotels would be without water service. The project engineering team, in partnership with the contractor, has developed a new approach to the intersection improvements that will not only minimize water disruption but should also significantly reduce the construction time required for the intersection.
Additionally, the February Winter Storm Event caused the shutdown of plastics plants in Texas which triggered a global shortage of construction materials like the PVC pipe that is needed for that complicated intersection. Town staff worked with the project contractor to locate any available alternative sources for these materials.
During this hiatus, the crews have focused efforts on preparing the median areas along Midway Road from Belt Line to Spring Valley and started installing utilities in that corridor while supplies were being obtained for the intersection.
We now have the materials needed to move forward with the intersection in hand and are ready to resume work on this area. You can expect to see temporary signals installed by the first week in June. Utility relocation work will begin the week of June 8 and paving is slated to begin at the end of June, weather permitting. We anticipate that major paving operations will be completed in the intersection in mid-September.
Because we were able to shift work to the southern end of the project while sourcing supplies, construction for the overall project is still on schedule to complete work from Spring Valley to Belt Line by November 2022.
March 24, 2021 Update
Construction crews have begun removing the medians and pavement at the Midway Road/Belt Line Road intersection to perform utility and pavement improvements. Drivers can expect to see various lane closures and traffic shifts as the phases of work rotate around the intersection. Please pay close attention to the signage in the area, as the lane functions (Left Turn Only, Right Turn Only, etc.) will change during the various phases of the work.
Utility work is scheduled to begin on Midway Road the week of March 29 starting at Spring Valley Road and progressing northward. During this work, traffic will be shifted to the outer lanes as the work progresses along the center portion of the street and median areas. This work will include the removal of sections of median pavement, curb & gutter, and median trees to allow for the utility construction. Please note that no parkway trees will be removed at this time.
March 4, 2021 Update
Short-duration lane closures will begin Monday, March 8 at the intersection of Midway and Belt Line Roads and continue over the next several weeks as work begins on the Midway Road Revitalization Project. Variable Message Boards have been placed around the intersection to provide advance warning of construction activities.
There will also be some short-duration lane closure along the Midway Road Corridor as the utility and communication companies adjust and relocate their facilities to accommodate the project.
February 3, 2021 Update
Expect lane closures on Midway and Belt Line (near the intersection) on February 4 from 10am to 4pm to perform utility locate services.
February 2, 2021 Update
You may have noticed that the Midway Road construction project signs have been installed. Construction will begin at the intersection of Midway and Belt Line in 2-3 weeks. Town staff is in the process of working with its contractors to finalize the phasing and traffic plans. Once we have the final plan in place, we will be able to share a more definitive schedule for lane closures and traffic switches. We will place variable message boards around the intersection one week before any permanent lane closures are implemented
In the meantime, there will be some non-peak hour temporary lane closures to install temporary traffic signal system components and locate buried utility lines.
December 14, 2020 Update
At its December 8 meeting, the City Council approved an almost $31 million contract with Tiseo Paving Company for Construction Services for the Midway Road Revitalization Project, which is approximately $480,000 under the project budget for construction services. Council also awarded Teague Nall Perkins (TNP) an approximately $880,000 contract for Design Support During Construction Services. Design Support During Construction Services is an industry standard for construction projects to assure the construction contractor utilizes means and methods that comply with the contract requirements. TNP is the Engineer of Record for the Midway Road Revitalization Project design. They are, therefore, uniquely positioned to provide the design support services because the Engineer of Record is required to be notified of or approve any requested interpretations and deviations by the construction contractor during construction.
Finally, Council awarded a roughly $225,000 contract to Kleinfelder, Inc. to perform materials testing services as quality assurance for the materials. Material testing services are required to assure the quality and consistency of the materials and workmanship utilized by the construction contractor to complete the Midway Road Revitalization Project.
Construction is slated to begin in mid-January.
