1. Coit Road widening
Crews are widening Coit Road from four to six lanes between SH 121 and Main Street. Construction is homing in on the bridge widening near Lyndhurst Drive, and the bridge deck has been poured. Crews will next construct a traffic rail for the bridge. A crew has been through to finish applying striping and reflectors to Coit’s pavement. Upon completion of this step, all six lanes will be opened to traffic with intermittent inside lane closures to complete median work.

4. US 380 landscape enhancements
Work on US 380 to provide landscape enhancements and additional rights-of-way have been put on hold, according to Patrick Clarke, a TxDOT spokesperson. There have been some unexpected site issues because US 380 splits McKinney, Frisco and Prosper, he said. There were some irrigation issues that had to be worked out with the cities, Clarke said. This has led to halting the project on US 380 while all of this is determined, he said. However, as of this publication’s press time, work was expected to begin again by the end of October.
Timeline: October 2021-TBD
Cost: $1.1 million
