Construction began in November to widen Custer Road from four lanes to a six-lane divided roadway. The 3-mile-long project spans from SH 121 to Stonebridge Drive. The roadway
north of Stonebridge Drive is already six lanes.

The widening project is being funded mostly by TxDOT and Collin County. The city of Frisco is contributing nearly $2 million to the project.

added to McKinney Ranch and a turn lane for traffic turning left from eastbound SH 121 to northbound Lake Forest will also be added. One lane on Lake Forest will be closed periodically between 9 a.m.-4 p.m. City officials said the project is 20 percent complete as of late January.

Other transportation projects


The city will widen Virginia Parkway between US 75 and Ridge Road from four lanes to six lanes. From US 75 to Bellegrove Drive, the roadway will be widened to the edge of the existing pavement. From Bellegrove to Ridge, the roadway will be widened within the existing median. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2016 and city officials said they are waiting on the relocation of franchise utilities and the acquisition of the final right of way parcels before they can begin construction on the project.
