Main Street reconstruction project resuming, completion expected by March

Richardson’s Main Street reconstruction project continues this week after a three-month pause caused by delays in utility relocation, the city announced. The construction, which extends from Greenville Avenue to just past Abrams Road, is expected to be completed in March, depending on weather conditions.

What’s happening: Oncor told the city it would begin moving overhead power lines underground starting this week, with its work expected to be complete in early February. After the power lines are relocated, the city can begin the next stage of construction, which will include adding sidewalks, street lights and trees along the south side of the street. At least one lane in each direction will remain open during construction, although traffic congestion may increase.

The big picture: The project is Phase 2 of a larger reconstruction along Main Street aimed at improving downtown infrastructure within the city’s Core District.

$8.6M improvements coming to Terminal D at DFW Airport

Two renovations are coming to Terminal D at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

What's happening? The primary terminal for international travel will get additional security check-ins and screening options.

Swinerton Builders was selected to add two lanes to the central passenger screening checkpoint, 19 self-service bag drops and 42 self-service check-in kiosks. The $8.6 million contract started late last year and has a 390-day construction window.

Additional security checkpoints will help improve customer experience, meet the demand of international passengers and support the first phase of Terminal F, which is still under construction, according to documents.

Zooming in: During the Jan. 8 DFW board meeting, an amended contract with Allied Universal Security of Irving was approved for unarmed security and gate attendant services throughout DFW Airport.

The revised amount of $1.25 million was approved for future airport projects and the support may be temporary or permanent, according to meeting documents.
