(Coppell & Bethel Rd Infrastructure)

Beginning as early as Monday, April 9, 2012, they will restrict the traffic on Bethel Road to one way westbound from Coppell Road to Freeport Parkway for approximately 120 days.  During this restriction, they will maintain one way traffic and access to all homes and businesses.  Please click here for a detour map during the lane restriction.

On September 13, 2011 the City Council awarded a contract to JRJ Paving LP for the construction of this project.  The project includes reconstruction of Bethel Road from east of Freeport Parkway through the intersection of S. Coppell Road/Mitchell Street.  The project also includes all infrastructure necessary for the new "Town Square" south of Bethel Rd. and west of Coppell Rd.  Click here for a map showing the proposed improvements.

All businesses will remain open and accessible for the duration of the project.  Please obey all warning signs during the project construction and if you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Engineering Department at 972-304-3679 or Rick O'Dell, Construction Inspector, at 469-576-7709.

OLD TOWN HISTORY AND FUTURE VISION OF THE TOWN SQUARE:

The Old Coppell Historic District encompasses most of the original town site, including the original location of Coppell City Hall.  The Old Coppell area was once the community's hub for activity including business, shopping, and to catch the train.  Such activities largely disappeared with the outward growth of Coppell and the development of new suburban oriented commercial districts.  Today the Old Coppell area is targeted for revitalization and new infill development to create a unique mixed-use community destination.
