NTMWD Project Update | April 10, 2026

Progress

• 5,100 of 9,100 feet of pipeline have been installed.
• Crews are continuing pipeline installation south towards Plano Parkway outside the northbound lane.
• Hydrostatic testing of the waterline from City of Plano Custer Pump Station to Plano Parkway passed.
• Permanent paving is being scheduled in coordination with trash pickup routes. Paving will begin at W 15th Street and Pitman Drive, and move south, currently scheduled for April 27.

Planned Traffic / Lane Impacts
Future traffic and/or lane impacts will continue to be coordinated with the City of Plano.

Neighborhood Impacts

• Cross streets and alleys between Westridge Drive and Westlake Drive will have temporary closures from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in sequence as crews move southward for permanent paving.
• Temporary asphalt or steel plates will be used to reopen streets/alleys as work progresses.
• Transition from the northern staging area to the southern staging area has been completed.
• Activities at the northern staging area will be reduced until the contractor comes back to perform tie-in and restoration, but may resume if inclement weather causes issues with access at the southern staging yard.
• Use of the staging areas is to last until project completion, which is currently targeted for October 26, 2026
