Notice of Road Construction: Dallas Drive and Teasley Lane
DENTON, TX, Nov. 2, 2018—The City of Denton will begin making improvements to the
intersection of Dallas Drive and Teasley Lane on Nov. 12. The project, which includes adding
turn lane storage capacity, increasing turn lane maneuverability, improving sidewalks, and
upgrading traffic signals in all directions, is needed to alleviate congestion and improve safety.
The project is scheduled for completion in early spring 2019.
"This is one of the busiest intersections in Denton during peak hours," said Director of Capital
Projects/City Engineer Todd Estes. "These improvements will increase mobility in the area and
help drivers navigate the intersection with increased safety."
This project has been scheduled for immediate construction in anticipation of TxDOT beginning
the U.S. 377 expansion in the near future. Because this intersection will likely see more traffic
once that project begins, the City is proactively working to complete this project to address
future congestion.
During the project, lane closures will impact travel lanes. However, some of the work will be
completed at night to lessen the impact.
Specific improvements include:
• Eastbound Dallas Drive: One additional left turn lane will be added; left turn bays will be
extended to provide 300 feet of storage; the right curb return will be modified to decrease
the angle of entry; and the right turn bay will be extended to provide 300 feet of storage.
• Westbound Dallas Drive: The left turn bay will be extended to provide 300 feet of
storage.
• Northbound Teasley Lane: The left turn bays will be extended to provide 300 feet of
storage and the width will be increased; a left turn will be provided at Duncan Street.
• Sidewalks along Teasley Lane: Sidewalks will be improved and directional pedestrian
ramps will be provided.
• Traffic Signals: Traffic signals for all four directions will be upgraded and additional
signage will be added.
