The traffic cones and barricades are up, and so are the questions about the reconstruction of Alsbury Boulevard.

The boulevard on the north side of town is getting a facelift from I-35W to Douglas Street (near Taylor Elementary School). Barricades are in place the length of the construction route. The barricades are intended to keep drivers from inadvertently driving into oncoming traffic. The traffic control plan includes a dedicated entrance into the Burleson Town Center retail site.

The median on Alsbury will be reconstructed. The median adjacent to the service road (Burleson Boulevard) will be narrowed to make room for a dedicated right-turn lane for eastbound traffic.

The timing on the construction is 210 calendar days (seven months), but it could be finished before Christmas. The paving next to the retail center could be complete by Nov. 1. No intersections will be fully closed during this project. The intersections will be paved one-half at a time.
