Attention Shady Grove commuters! Prepare for some detour drama starting March 11 as construction crews gear up for Phase Two of the road's facelift. The city has enlisted a new contractor to take over the asphalt overhaul on Shady Grove Road, set to commence next week, as per an official release from the City of Keller.
This latest effort follows a shake-up last summer when the previous contractor was replaced, leaving the new crew to complete the work east of Keller Smithfield Road. Construction equipment will be set up on Monday, with the road closing between Rapp Road and Keller Smithfield Road on Tuesday, March 12. Consider yourself informed if you like to plan.
To navigate the traffic chaos, a detour via North Tarrant Parkway is recommended. Fortunately, service providers and residents in the area will still have access to their properties.
However, be prepared for further disruptions. While the intersections at Shady Grove and both Rapp and Keller Smithfield roads will remain open for now, they are scheduled for closure once repaving begins, according to the city's statement.
With expectations for smoother roads post-construction, Shady Grove Road's rejuvenation under its new management should be completed just in time for summer. Stay patient, Keller—progress may take a detour, but it's on its way.
