Construction of a mini-roundabout, including lighting and pedestrian enhancements, began in early June at the intersection of Rockhill Road and Graves Street in McKinney. Construction of the roundabout is expected to be substantially completed by mid-August prior to the commencement of the 2020-21 McKinney ISD school year.

Throughout the duration of the project, the intersection will remain closed, with detour routes provided along Wilson Creek Parkway and Louisiana/Virginia Street. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes.

Cost: $500,000 (roundabout only)

Estimated timeline: May-September
