Two TxDOT road repairs beginning next. week.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) officials have announced an upcoming new traffic signal in Van Alstyne at the FM 121 and Collin McKinney Parkway intersection. This is the intersection that feeds to and from Van Alstyne High School traffic.
The intersection is currently a stop condition for traffic on Collin McKinney Parkway. The signal is to have been placed into flash mode on Wednesday, April 30, to start getting drivers’ attention.
The new traffic signal will be fully activated to signal mode on Wednesday, May 7.
Message boards are in place on FM 121 to alert the public about the upcoming change. Message boards will remain in place for a week after the change to full activation to help with advanced notification.
TxDOT officials Wednesday (April 30) announced that road construction will begin May 5 on US Hwy 75 from the Collin County Line to FM 902 in Grayson County.
The contractor, RPM xConstruction, was awarded the contract for this project valued at more than $96 million. Work is slated to begin May 8. The contractor will begin setting barricades at work sites on May 5. The contract is anticipated to be completed in November of 2028.
This project will widen the four-lane roadway to six lanes divided over this 9.8-mile project. It will also convert the frontage roads to one-way operation and add u-turn bridges along US 75, one in Van Alstyne and one in Howe to improve circulation. The project will also reconstruct the bridge at County Line Road and add signals to the Haning St. intersection with the US 75 frontage road in Howe.
This construction is designed to improve safety, address traffic congestion, improve traffic flow and upgrade the roadway. Changes and improvements along this portion of US 75 will be constructed in phases as the project progresses, officials said.
