Westgate Drive Improvement Project

The W. Westgate Drive Improvement Project will reconstruct the street to meet City of Denton residential standards. The project is divided into two phases, with Phase 1 set to begin in mid-June. This phased approach aims to complete a portion of the roadway before the 2025-2026 school year to help reduce traffic congestion during school drop-off and pickup.

Phase 1 includes constructing wet utilities, streetlights, pedestrian improvements, and roadway connectivity from Bronco Way to the existing W. Westgate Drive segment leading to the I-35 access road.

Phase 2 will improve the stretch from Windsor Drive/Westgate Drive to the I-35 access road, and the stretch along Westgate Drive/Windsor Drive, connecting to the Bronco Way intersection. Project scope will also include water, sanitary sewer upgrades, streetlights, pedestrian mobility enhancements, drainage improvements, and full-depth roadway reconstruction.

Staff is considering options to ensure necessary connectivity for residents of the Westglen neighborhood during construction and access concerns associated with the opening of the new Denton High School as well as other development in the area. Several options for improving the full current extents of Westgate and potential temporary and/or permanent extension of the roadway are being considered. Staff hosted a meeting with DISD on March 25 to discuss this project along with several other capital projects that are being coordinated near the new Denton High School site. A community meeting with area residents will be held to present options being considered.
