Editor's note: This story has been updated to correct the timeline of the Alma Drive construction. Officials have not set a start date for the project's second phase.
1. Alma Drive improvements
Construction is nearly complete on the first phase of the Alma Drive improvement project at the intersection of Alma Drive and Exchange Parkway. The start date for the rest of the project, which extends from SH 121 to Hedgcoxe Road, has yet to be scheduled. The project proposes to widen Alma Drive to six lanes in areas where four- or five-lane sections exist. As a result, various other improvements and modifications to existing infrastructure would be necessary, including landscaping improvements, signal enhancements, turn lane additions and street lighting placement/replacement.
Timeline: TBD Cost: $5.5 million Funding sources: city of Allen, Collin County
2. Stacy Road expansion
The roadway is under construction to reconstruct the two-lane rural highway into a four-lane divided urban roadway with left-turn lanes, a median and sidewalks. The project extends from Greenville Avenue to Country Club Road.
