The FM 1938/Davis Boulevard extension will be a new four- to six-lane roadway that will connect to SH 114 and consists of two separate projects. The first phase is 2.2 miles of new road from SH 114 to Randol Mill Road and the second phase includes the extension of FM 1938 from Randol Mill Road to FM 1709. Construction has begun on the first phase.

The project was also awarded a 2009 Highways for Life $1 million grant by the Federal Highway Administration for its use of new innovative technologies that are expected to extend the life of the roadway and enhance air quality.

These new technologies were used and will be studied for potential use in future projects:

• Optimized graded concrete that resists cracking and produces less carbon dioxide.
• Improved compaction of base materials provides a more consistent, even roadway surface that is more resistant to failures.
• Special linings between the base and the pavement reduce erosion and failures.
• Special pavement curing formulas reduce fine cracking.
• Improved roadway texturing and grooving provide a more durable road with less noise.

The project is a partnership between TxDOT and Tarrant County, the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the cities of Keller, Southlake and Westlake.

Phase One

Phase One, which started construction in May 2010, will include a six-lane divided roadway with raised curb medians from SH 114 to just south of Dove Road, then it will graduate to a four-lane roadway with raised curb medians to Randol Mill Road. It is estimated to be completed by summer 2012.

Phase Two

Phase two will extend FM 1938 from Randol Mill Road to FM 1709. The 1.6-mile project is being developed.
