NTMWD Project Update | January 30, 2026

Progress

• 3,950 of 9,100 feet of pipeline have been installed.
• Air relief valve work between Westridge Drive and Grandview Drive is complete.

Planned Traffic / Lane Impacts
Due to unforeseen excavation issues, the current traffic control phase on Custer Road will be extended one additional week.
During the planned closures, two-way traffic will be shifted to the southbound lanes. Northbound lanes will reopen once work is complete.

• Jan. 5 – Feb. 2: Custer Road (northbound lanes) closed between Westridge Drive and Grandview Drive
• Feb. 9 – Feb. 27: Custer Road (northbound lanes) closed between Glencliff Drive and Carmel Drive
• Final timeframes to be confirmed and shared by City of Plano.

Neighborhood Impacts
• Cross streets and alleys between Westridge Drive and Westlake Drive will have temporary closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in sequence as crews move south.
• Temporary asphalt or steel plates will be used to reopen streets/alleys as work progresses.
• A temporary closure on Pitman Drive is expected to continue from 15th Street to Shadow Trail.

Timeline / What’s Next
