This page serves as a historical record for the Hundley Dr & Shady Shores Rd Project. Below, you will find archived updates from previous phases of construction, maintaining a transparent timeline of our progress and critical infrastructure improvements in Lake Dallas.

Previous Updates

MAR 9 2026

Contract Time Has Begun!

As you may have noticed, utility relocations have been taking place on Hundley Dr over the past couple of weeks. Starting later this week, Hundley Dr will be transitioned to one-way Westbound from Lakeview Dr to Lake Dallas Dr so that we can begin installing new water line in the area.

Eastbound traffic will be detoured around Hundley Dr via two options:

1. Lake Dallas Dr -> I35E Frontage Rd -> Swisher Rd -> Lakeview W -> N Lakeview Dr

2. Lake Dallas Dr -> Main St -> Thompson Dr -> S Lakeview Dr

Lake Dallas Middle School traffic may access the school via Falcon Dr or Lakeview Dr but must exit the school heading Westbound on Hundley Dr.

(Oldest at Top, Newest at End)

Due to the utility work taking place along Hundley Dr, intermittent closures will be taking place on Gotcher Ave, and a full closure on Falcon Dr starting tomorrow (3/24/2026). Below is a snip of these closures for reference!

MAR 23 2026

Gotcher Ave & Falcon Dr Closures

APR 06 2026

Pending weather delays, Beck is scheduled to begin utility work on April 9, 2026. During this time, traffic will be limited to one-way around the work zone. Parking will not be allowed on Beck Ave during construction due to the limited width of the roadway.

Falcon Dr closure has been delayed due to resequencing of work. At this point in time, Falcon Dr closure has not pffocially been scheduled, but updates will follow!

Beck Ave Utility Work & Falcon Updates

APR 28 2026

Due to weather and required phasing changes, Beck Ave utility work has been rescheduled to a later date. Notices will be sent to property owners on Beck Ave, Wildwood Dr, and Columbia Cir when this work is rescheduled.

Falcon Dr storm drainage has been installed, and Falcon Dr will remain open until road reconstruction begins at a later date.

Water line installation on Hundley Dr, from Lakeview Dr to Lake Dallas Dr, is nearing completion. Installation is expected to finish by the end of this week, pending any additional weather delays. Following installation, we will begin testing, disinfection, and tie-in/connection to the new water line. This phase is expected to take a couple of weeks.

Sanitary sewer installation from Gotcher Ave to Lake Dallas Dr is beginning this week. This work is expected to take approximately three weeks, barring any weather delays. The current traffic pattern will remain in place during this work. Hundley Dr will remain one-way westbound from Lakeview Dr to Lake Dallas Dr. Any additional traffic control closures are due to Atmos gas relocations, which are not associated with this project.

Looking ahead, Hundley Dr will be fully closed from Atchison Dr to Shady Shores Rd once school is out for summer (starting 5/26/26). This full closure is required to install the new storm drainage system beneath Hundley Dr in this section. Our goal is to fully reopen Hundley Dr to traffic in this area before the start of school (8/12/26). At a minimum, Hundley Dr will return to one-way westbound traffic when school resumes in August. We anticipate Hundley Dr will be fully restored—from Lakeview Dr to Lake Dallas Dr (including sidewalks, landscaping, etc.)—by the end of 2026.

Project Update - 4/28/2026

Water line installation is complete on Hundley Dr. We are currently performing bacteriological testing on the newly installed system. Once passing samples are received, we will begin connections and service tie-ins to the new water system. Most of this work will be performed at night to minimize disruption to residents’ daily routines as much as possible. Paper notices will be distributed alerting residents of when a water shutdown is scheduled. Shady Shores water line will not begin for a few months.

Sanitary sewer installation from Gotcher Ave to Lake Dallas Dr is ongoing and nearing completion. This week, we are scheduled to begin sanitary sewer installation from Lakeview Dr to Atchison Dr.

You may have noticed concrete pipe arriving onsite. Once sanitary sewer installation is complete, we will begin installing the new underground storm sewer system along Hundley Dr from Lakeview Dr to Lake Dallas Dr. During this phase of work, Hundley Dr will be fully closed from Atchison Dr to Shady Shores Rd.

We originally planned to implement this full closure once school was out for the summer; however, the significant amount of rainfall received over the past several weeks has delayed the start of this phase. Please refer to our previous update for additional information regarding the planned reopening of Hundley Dr.

We appreciate everyone’s continued patience as we work through ongoing weather impacts and schedule delays caused by repeated rainfall events. Our crews are continuing to work wherever conditions allow in order to keep the project moving forward safely and efficiently. Until the full closure is implemented, the current detour routes shown in the section below remain active and valid.

MAY 27 2026

Project Update - 5/27/2026

Hundley Dr is officially closed from Lakeview Dr to Shady Shores Rd. Business access remains on the East side of Hundley (via Lakeview). School traffic can access via Falcon Dr, and park traffic can access via Gotcher Ave. This closure is necessary for us to install the underground storm drain beneath Hundley Dr as we try to complete the new concrete paving on Hundley Dr prior to the start of school in August.

During this closure, Shady Shores Rd will remain open in both directions. Outside of the original detours (as shown below), Shady Shores Rd can also be used as a detour route to bypass Hundley Dr.

JUNE 3 2026

Hundley Dr Officially Closed!

Hundley Dr has been fully closed to traffic between Atchison Dr and Shady Shores Rd since 6/3/26. At this time, all sanitary sewer work has been completed, water tie-ins and final connections are taking place {see below for further details on this}, and storm sewer installation is wrapping up.

The next big phase we are entering now is the earthwork and paving phase. This week we began excavation to drop Hundley Dr to its new elevation. By the end of next week, concrete paving operations will begin. Our goal has been to have Hundley Dr open to traffic by the start of school (August 12th) and this is still our goal and expectation, despite the rain delays!

Hundley Dr Construction Update

Traffic Changes Upcoming

Overnight on 7/22 (8 PM to 6 AM) and 7/23 (8 PM to 6 AM) the intersection of Shady Shores & Hundley will be fully closed while we complete all underground utility installation in the intersection. During these overnight hours, traffic that needs to get onto Hundley between Shady Shores & Lake Dallas Dr (the railroad tracks) will be able to access from Lake Dallas Dr.
Hundley Dr will remain closed between Atchison Dr & Shady Shores Rd until concrete paving completion, scheduled for the week of August 10th.
Outside of scheduled nightly changes (above), Hundley Dr will remain one-way Westbound traffic between Shady Shores Rd and Lake Dallas Dr.
Night work storm installation will start on 7/27, lasting for 2 weeks, while we complete the storm sewer installation on Hundley Dr between Shady Shores Rd & Lake Dallas Dr.

Water Tie-Ins Remaining

Overnight on 7/26 (10 PM to 6 AM), the new water line on Hundley Dr will be tied into the South side of Shady Shores Rd. This tie-in will put all businesses/residents between Hundley Dr and Main St out of water during those hours.
Overnight on 7/28 (10 PM to 6 AM), the new water line on Hundley Dr will be tied into the North side of Shady Shores Rd. This tie-in will put all businesses/residents between Hundley Dr and Overly Dr (including Lake Haven Estates Mobile Home Park) out of water during those hours.

As of this today, Hundley Dr is open to one-way Westbound traffic from Lakeview Dr to Lake Dallas Dr. Once we have cure strength on the South side of Hundley Dr, Hundley Dr will resume two-way traffic between Lakeview Dr and Shady Shores Rd. We anticipate this to happen next Monday (8/17/2026).

West Hundley will remain one-way Westbound from Shady Shores Rd to Lake Dallas Dr until utilities and paving are completed in the stretch of Hundley Dr. This is anticipated for end of October (weather-dependent).

Utilities have officially started on Beck Ave. Beck Ave will be under construction from now until end of November (weather-dependent).

The next large phase of construction will be Shady Shores (from Main St to Hundley Dr) starting tentatively 9/2/2026.

AUG 12 2026

Hundley Dr Partially Open!!

Traffic Changes Upcoming

Night work storm installation will start on 8/17, lasting for 1 week, while we complete the storm sewer installation on Hundley Dr between Shady Shores Rd & Lake Dallas Dr.
Beck Ave access will be restricted over the next 3 months while utilities and paving work is taking place. Traffic will still be allowed in and out, we just asking that residents refrain from parking on the street so that there is an accessible driving lane.
Outside of scheduled nightly changes (above), Hundley Dr will remain one-way Westbound traffic between Shady Shores Rd and Lake Dallas Dr.
Once Shady Shores Rd construction begins, traffic will be limited to one-way. More details will follow once this next phase of construction is firmed up.
