Major Projects to Redefine Holford, Naaman School Roads
Construction will begin by the end of the year on two of the major roadway projects from the 2019 Bond Program.
The Holford and Naaman School Road projects will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and promote safety while providing enhanced connectivity and a smoother driving experience.
Trails and walk- and rideability are the inspiration behind the widening of Holford Road — a connection to our great parks and nature preserves. The project will upgrade Holford from two to four lanes in each direction, with exterior lanes dedicated to cyclists. The project will also retain the existing shared-use path and add a second shared-use path on the other side of the road. Center medians will be landscaped with sustainable vegetation.
The project’s first phase will improve the segment from President George Bush Turnpike north to the city limits. Future phases will connect south to Arapaho Road.
Naaman School Road will be widened from two to four lanes, divided by a center median, from Brand Road to just past State Highway 78 (Lavon Drive).
The roadway will be raised over Spring Creek to address flooding and will include a pedestrian trail. A shared-use path will be added, promoting pedestrian and cyclist safety.
Utility relocations and upgrades are already happening in the Holford and Naaman School Road project areas. These have been made in preparation for construction to begin by the end of this year.
We are also currently working with our designers and contractors to create a plan that minimizes impacts to the public as much as possible. We plan to foster a safe environment for all users during construction and will keep residents informed of any important announcements or changes.
Stay tuned for updates on these exciting projects!
