TxDOT Updates for Van Alstyne Roads

TxDOT Updates 12/29/25:

US 75, from the Collin County Line to FM 902. This project will widen the US 75 mainlanes from
the Collin County Line to FM 902 to six lanes. The project will also reconstruct the bridge at
County Line Road and construct new u-turn bridges in Van Alstyne near Simmons Loop and in
Howe south of Hall Cemetery Road. This project will convert the frontage roads from two-way
operation to one-way operation. Two lanes on the US 75 main lanes will remain open in each
direction during the daytime hours with occasional lane closures during the nighttime period.
Watch for lane closures on the frontage roads during construction. A reduced speed limit of 65
mph on the US 75 mainlanes has been set for this construction project.

The frontage roads in Van Alstyne are now one-way traffic. This one-way conversion happened on both the east and west sides of US 75 from FM 121 to Blythe/Farmington Road. After the pavement work is complete, both lanes of the frontage roads will be opened to traffic. There will be a section of frontage road near Northridge Road and Simmons Loop that will be reduced to one lane in order to construct the new u-turn bridge over US 75.
The frontage roads in Van Alstyne on both the east and west sides of US 75 from County Line
Road (CR 375/Panther Parkway) to FM 121 are one-way roads. The pavement work is
completed, and both lanes of the frontage roads are open to traffic. There will be occasional
lane closures to install work zone striping & other remaining works. The section of frontage road
on the east side of US 75 between Kelly Lane and County Line Road will remain as two-way
traffic in order to allow traffic on Kelly Lane to travel to County Line Road.
US 75 frontage roads in Howe were converted to one-way traffic on October 23. This one-way
conversion happened on both the east and west sides of US 75 from Blythe Rd to Hanning St.
Lane closures will be in place during the conversion in order to complete pavement repairs and
to overlay the roadway with a new surface. After the pavement work is completed, both lanes of
the frontage roads will be opened to traffic.
US 75, from SH 91 (Texoma Parkway) to US 82. This project will rebuild the US 75 mainlanes
from SH 91 to US 82 as well as reconstruct the entrance and exit ramps on US 75. The project
will also reconstruct bridges at Taylor Street, Lamberth Street and the US 75 main lanes over
US 82 and reconstruct the frontage road intersection at SH 91. A reduced speed limit of 60 mph
on the US 75 mainlanes has been set for this construction project. Two lanes on the US 75
main lanes will remain open in each direction during the daytime hours with occasional further
lane closures during the nighttime period. Watch for lane closures on the frontage roads during
construction.
SH 5, in Van Alstyne from Williams Way to Blassingame Avenue. Watch for daytime lane
closures on SH 5 as crews work to install a shared use bicycle and pedestrian trail. The trail will
follow along SH 5 from the existing trail at Williams Way to Blassingame Avenue, then along
Tolson Avenue, then along Main Street where it will connect with Van Alstyne Parkway.
Motorists should expect delays during the daytime work hours as flaggers direct traffic through
the work zone.
US 75 debris pickup, from Collin County line to Oklahoma State line. Watch for mobile lane
closures as workers pick up debris from the roadway every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday
during the nighttime.
Sister Grove Road, Contractor closed the bridge on Sister Grove Rd at West Prong Sister Grove
Creek to replace the existing bridge. The Contractor completed the bridge replacement work
and opened it to traffic on October 31. The Contractor will continue working on the remaining
minor items with occasional daily lane closures. Drivers are requested to slow down, watch for
construction workers and obey construction signs as they travel through the work zone.
