Ongoing water and wastewater main improvements along White Avenue from
A Waddill Street to North Tennessee Street, and B North Tennessee Street from Lamar Street to US 380 are expected to be completed by the end of August. Major pavement repairs on both streets will follow immediately after, McKinney Capital Improvements Manager Nick Ataie said. Through the remainder of construction, pavement repairs on both streets will require intermittent lane closures and may include temporary detours. Weather permitting, officials estimate construction along North Tennessee Street will be complete this summer, and work along White Avenue will be completed by early fall.

2. Arterial intersection improvements
The city is adding additional turn-lanes at four major intersections throughout McKinney. These include A) Hardin Boulevard and White Avenue, which crews have completed; B) McKinney Ranch Parkway and Lake Forest Drive, which crews have completed; C) Alma Road and Eldorado Parkway, with construction underway through the end of August; and D) Virginia Parkway and Stonebridge Drive, with construction to begin in September and continue through the end of November. During construction of the remaining work, intermittent lane closures will be required for work to be completed. These improvements, once completed, will allow additional vehicles to flow through these major intersections during peak traffic hours, reducing travel delays.
