The Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works Department, in coordination with Trinity Railway Express, held a virtual preconstruction meeting to review safety measures and community notifications for upcoming railroad crossing improvements at Haltom Road in north Fort Worth.
Project Details
City officials met with contractors and transportation authorities to present the plan. The $488,000 project is expected to be complete in December 2026. Area lights, cones, and crossing arms will be installed to guide traffic safely during construction.
The staff also reviewed a draft letter to nearby businesses and residents. The team typically sends these notices within seven calendar days of construction start. The discussion focused on traffic guidance, communication timelines, and work hours.
Traffic control will rely on portable message signs for real-time updates and static signage for detours. In addition to State Highway 121, the construction zone will affect several connecting corridors, including Haltom Road, Broadway Avenue, and Carson Street.
