Beginning Monday, Jan. 5, the Tri School Streets Improvement construction detour is scheduled to be modified, which will impact traffic in the area.

According to the City of Arlington's Public Works & Transportation Department, the detour modification will close through traffic on Ledbetter Road between Curry Road and Harris Road. There will be a street closure on Ledbetter Road at the construction work site, and traffic will not be allowed to go around the construction work site. Expect the construction and the street closure point to move along this section of Ledbetter Road as construction progresses. Local two way traffic will be maintained on either side of this street closure.

Access to Carol Holt Elementary School and Cross Timbers Intermediate School currently from Curry Road to Ledbetter Road will be detoured. The revised detour will route west bound Curry Road traffic past Ledbetter Road, around to Russell Curry Road to Harris Road, then east (left) onto Harris Road back to Ledbetter Road. This will bring traffic back into the existing detour traffic to Carol Holt Elementary School and to Cross Timbers Intermediate School.

Residents on Ledbetter Road between Curry Road and Harris Road, and residents on Ledbetter Court will have access to their properties. Two way local traffic will be open on Ledbetter Road from Curry Road or from Harris Road. Access to these properties will be maintained from the Curry Road end or from the Harris Road end depending on the locations of the property and the location of the construction site street closure. The construction street closure location will begin at Curry Road.

The "no through traffic, local traffic only"restriction on Ledbetter Road between Curry Road and Harris Road is anticipated to last through summer 2015.

The multimillion dollar Tri-Schools Road Improvement Project began on June 9 and is expected to be done in August 2016.

This project, which is part of the 2008 bond, is one of 16 major public works and water utility upgrade projects totaling as much as $80 million scheduled to roll out over a two-year period.
