After two years of construction, motorists can now travel across the new extension of Conflans Road between Valley View Lane and State Highway 161. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in late August to celebrate the project’s public opening.


Conflans Road Extension Project Scope
  1. Construct 1,607-foot-long bridge across the Bear Creek flood plain
  2. Construct 956-foot-long, four-lane divided thoroughfare (Valley View to bridge)
  3. Construct 1,351-foot-long eastbound half of Conflans Road (bridge to SH 161)
  4. Construct 12-foot-wide shared-use pedestrian path along the south side of the right-of-way
  5. Construct new water, wastewater and storm sewer infrastructure
  6. Raise two Oncor high-voltage transmission lines by 40 feet


Multi-Agency Coordination

The nearly $43 million project was completed using city and federal funds and involved significant engineering and construction challenges for the four-lane divided thoroughfare across the Bear Creek flood plain. Design and construction activities for the project required extensive coordination with several major agencies that included: the Army Corps of Engineers, Texas Department of Transportation, Dallas County Flood Control District No. 1, Oncor Electric Delivery Co., Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Trinity River Authority, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.


This milestone infrastructure project represents the completion of the last remaining and most complex section of Conflans Road, a major collector on the City’s Master Thoroughfare Plan.
