Hickory Creek Road Phase 3 Project

The Hickory Creek Road Phase 3 project is currently experiencing a delay in construction due to rail road coordination and the ONCOR distribution line relocation. Over the last month and a half the project area has experienced an abnormally large amount of rain events. This has delayed ONCOR from being able to relocate the distribution line as most areas of the project have been inaccessible due to the rain. ONCOR crews are currently on emergency response with the storms over the last few weeks as well. As soon as the ONCOR crews are off of emergency response the relocation will begin. City of Denton staff is also coordinating with the railroad to get the project on track. Please use caution and observe all work zone signs while in the Hickory Creek RD area. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at Dustin.Draper@cityofdenton.com or by using the ask a project manager link on the Discuss Denton project page.

The Hickory Creek Road Phase 3 Project's bridge abutments are in the settlement phase of the construction. The bridge abutments (or approaches) require a settlement time before they can be built on to ensure that they do not settle after the road is completed. The ONCOR distribution line relocation is scheduled for completion in May and City staff is continuing coordination with the contractor to address any concerns with the temporary pavement section of the existing Hilltop Road. Please remember to observe all construction warning signs and detour routes as the project progress toward the Q2 2025 estimated completion date. WIth the rains we have been experiencing we also ask that you use caution around the project after a rain event, If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Dustin Draper at Dustin.Draper@cityofdenton.com or by using the ask a Project Manager link on the project page.
