 It may not look like much now, but Fort Worth's Montgomery Street is getting a major makeover. The plan is to transform this one-mile section of Montgomery, from I-30 to Camp Bui Boulevard, into a safe and attractive gateway to the city's cultural district. But before we can see this, we'll see more of this. Currently, crews are burying overhead utilities, relocating and replacing gas mains, upgrading water and sewer pipes for new development, literally laying the groundwork for what's to come. Next will be road construction, including replacing old storm drains, paving, street lights and traffic signals, all scheduled to begin this summer. Plans call for 11-foot-wide traffic and turn lanes, so Montgomery Street can handle all types of traffic more easily – commuters, museum-goers and those livestock trailers headed for Will Rogers and the new Dickies Arena. When complete, Montgomery will be safer for all users, including pedestrians and cyclists. It'll feature bike lanes and large, clearly marked crosswalks, plus extra-wide sidewalks lined with shade trees to create a buffer between traffic and pedestrians. But good things take time. This multi-million dollar Montgomery makeover is currently underway and will be completed in early fall of 2019. So the next time you drive this, watch out for those traffic cones and just picture this. For updates on the Montgomery Street makeover, visit Fort Worth, Texas dot gov slash projects.
