Road Construction Updates
Construction Project Map (Click Map to View Large Version)
Several intersections and roads are now under construction to help alleviate traffic congestion around McKinney. All completion dates and timelines are projected and could change.
McKinney public safety officials urge you to drive slowly and with caution, especially in construction areas. For regular updates on construction projects in McKinney and how they could impact traffic, visit www.mckinneytexas.org.
U.S. 75 at U.S. 380
(Texas Department of Transportation)
The interchange reconstruction project is anticipated to be complete by Dec. 2010. The
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will rebuild U.S. 75 as an eight-lane freeway from White Ave. to Taylor-Burk Dr., frontage roads will be widened to three lanes with right and left turn lanes, and U.S. 380 will be widened to eight lanes under U.S. 75. TxDOT closed the southbound U.S. 75 exit ramp to U.S. 380, lasting until spring 2010. Use the Wilmeth Road exit for the duration of the closure.
Southbound traffic remains on the newly constructed temporary U.S. 75 bridge overpass at U.S. 380. This allows crews to demolish and reconstruct the existing southbound U.S. 75 bridge overpass at U.S. 380 without detouring U.S. 75 motorists traveling south through the area.

U.S. 75 at S.H. 121
(North Texas Tollway Authority)
Work on this interchange broke ground in Dec. 2008, with an expected completion in January 2011. The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) project will include work from Hardin Boulevard to east of U.S. 75. For more information on the progress of this project, visit www.ntta.org. The NTTA also publishes monthly project reports via email. Sign up at their Web site. On March 16, 2009, the NTTA Board of Directors approved naming the corridor Sam Rayburn Tollway, and SH 121 was officially dedicated under this name in June 2009.
Lake Forest Dr. from Boyd High School to U.S. 380
This $2.78 million construction project includes drainage and utility work and approximately 2,300 feet of paving of Lake Forest Dr. from Boyd High School to US Highway 380, including the northbound bridge over Wilson Creek. Work on this project is anticipated to be substantially complete in July 2009.
Custer Road
This project includes the widening of Custer Road (FM 2478) from Stonebridge Dr. to University Drive (US 380). This is a joint venture with funds from the City of McKinney, Collin County, TxDOT and the federal government. This project will widen Custer Road from two lanes to six lanes for the majority of the corridor. This project, managed by TxDOT, is scheduled to begin summer 2009 and should be complete by December 2011.
The $7.1 million utility relocation project is necessary for the construction improvements on Custer Road to begin. It will also provide additional water mains to serve the area of McKinney southwest of the University Pump Station, located north of US 380 and east of Custer Dr. Work on this project will be complete in August 2009.
