By Mary Jane Farmer,  from a press release from Texas Department of Public Safety, TxDOT.

Both Waco Street (SH 5), FM 121,  and parts of Van Alstyne Parkway and are state-maintained roadways. Texas Department of Transportation spokesman Tim McAlavy reported on two upcoming and one continuing construction projects .

Waco Street — The annual crack-seal contract project for Grayson County roadways begins Oct. 18. Drivers should expect delays as the work is performed using daytime lane closures. State Highway 5 from US Hwy. 75 to the Collin County line will be crack sealed this year. This route runs through Van Alstyne city limits and is also called Waco Street.

SH 75 — Also, US 75 full-depth concrete repair begins soon (no starting date provided) in Grayson County from the Collin-Grayson County line to the Oklahoma State line. TxDOT spokesman Tim McAlavy said  Grayson County crews will be working on US 75 each week from Sunday night through Thursday night. Lane closures will be present at night for crews to replace failed concrete. Lane closures will begin at 7:30 p.m. each night and should be reopened to traffic by 6 a.m. This work will extend from the Collin-Grayson County line to the Oklahoma State line.

FM 121 —Having already been in progress for some time, FM 121 from Jim Jones Road to FM 3356 remains under construction on what will become a five-lane section of the FM 121, consisting of concrete pavement, once it is completed. McAlavy said to watch for occasional daytime lane closures as crews work to build portions of the new bridges and roadway. Also, watch for lane shifts and narrow lanes throughout the project as crews have moved traffic to a portion of the new pavement.

There are many other TxDOT roadway improvement areas, and especially along US 75 in the Sherman area. Information on these can be found in the Herald-Democrat.
