Planned Traffic / Lane Impacts*

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

• Custer Road permanent paving has begun in the right-hand lane at Plano Parkway and working north towards Dolphin Drive.
• Cross streets and alleys between The Hope Center and Westridge Drive will have temporary closures while concrete cures, in sequence as crews move north.
• Initial door hangers have been distributed to those planned to be impacted for trash pickup
• Temporary signage notifying trash pickup instructions will also be placed in areas planned to be impacted, to move alongside construction
• Permanent concrete pavement in all three northbound lanes along Custer Road is anticipated to be complete by the end of January 2027 but subject to weather delays.

Neighborhood Impacts

• Temporary asphalt or steel plates will be used to reopen streets/alleys as work progresses. Contractor will be maintaining these areas until restoration efforts are complete.
• Transition from the northern staging area to the southern staging area has been completed.
• Activities at the northern staging area have been greatly reduced but will remain in place until the contractor returns to perform the final tie-in and restoration.
• Use of the staging areas through project completion, which is currently targeted for May 1, 2027. Schedule is under review due to additional paving restoration beyond the contracted amount.
