About the project: The purpose of the Bryant Farms Road Extension, Phase II project is to continue the street connection of Bryant Farms Road between Rea Road and Ardrey Kell Road. The design is anticipated to include a two-lane road with turn lanes, shared-use path on both sides of the road, and improvements at the intersections of Bryant Farms Road with Rea Road, Tom Short Road, and Ardrey Kell Road. The project will also build a crossing over Flat Branch stream and will run adjacent to the Flat Branch Nature Preserve for a portion of the project.
Harrisburg Road Shared Use Paths (SUPs)
Improvements on Harrisburg Road to create a more pedestrian-oriented corridor, between Ponderosa Pine Lane and Colwick Hill Road, Robinson Church Road and Timbertop Lane, and Winterwood Place and Sam Dee Road. Improvements will primarily include shared use path, drainage, curb and gutter, mid-block pedestrian crossing and milling and overlay of asphalt.
Harrisburg Road Shared Use Path (SUP) – Ponderosa Pine to Colwick Hill
Improvements on Harrisburg Road between Ponderosa Pine Lane and Colwick Hill Road, including a pedestrian hybrid beacon in between Denbur Drive and Cedarbrook Drive to create a more pedestrian-oriented corridor. Improvements will primarily include shared use path, sidewalk, drainage, mid-block pedestrian crossing, curb and gutter, and milling and overlay of asphalt.

- Public Industry Day Q&A:
Kuykendall Road Improvements
This project will connect sidewalk along Kuykendall Road from
Thorn Blade Drive to McKee Road, and add a right-turn lane from
Kuykendall Road on to McKee Road in order to to increase
pedestrian safety and help alleviate traffic congestion at the
intersection. Project will also fill in small sidewalk gap on the south
side of McKee Rd at Kuykendall Rd and add pedestrian signals with
crosswalk at this intersection. Project length = approximately 0.75
miles.
Rea Road Widening (I-485 to Williams Pond Lane)
The purpose of this project is to increase capacity along Rea Road. Capacity will be increased by utilizing the right turn lane drops and median to develop an additional NB and SB through lane along Rea Road between the I-485 ramps and Williams Pond Lane. This project will also result in increased turn lane capacity and intersection improvements at Piper Station Drive and Ballantyne Commons Parkway. Pedestrian safety and mobility will be improved by providing sidewalks on both sides of Rea Road. Other specific improvements include: curb and gutter, accessible ramps, and driveways.
LaSalle Street/Beatties Ford Road Intersection Improvements
Install decorative crosswalks (interconnected preformed thermoplastic), milling and resurfacing, and pavement markings.
7th Street Parallel Bike Routes (Revised 2/2026)
This project will build bike facilities in several different locations throughout the Elizabeth neighborhood to create safer conditions and improve ease of travel for cyclists and pedestrians, including approximately 2.1 miles of sharrows, modernization of two existing rectangular rapid flashing beacons, replacement of 10 wheelchair ramps, a new pedestrian crossing at Pecan Avenue and Shenandoah Avenue, implementation of new bike detection cameras, a new full traffic signal at Bascom Street and 7th Street, and a curb extension located at the intersection of Pecan Avenue and 8th Street.
February 2026 Update: This project’s scope has been divided into 2 phases and will not go out for public bid; the City plans to use an established on-call contract for both phases because construction of traffic signals is required.
