Upcoming project
Eldorado Parkway widening
The city of McKinney will widen a section of Eldorado Parkway from Custer Road to Orion Drive this spring. The road will be expanded from four to six lanes, including the bridge over Rowlett Creek. The project also includes construction of additional turn lanes at the intersection of Custer Road. Other improvements along the corridor are anticipated to occur simultaneously in association with the upcoming construction of an H-E-B grocery store, including additional turn lanes into the site along Eldorado Parkway and a new traffic signal east of Custer Road. Pending selection of a contractor, construction associated with the roadway widening is expected to begin in late spring and be completed in spring or summer 2023. During construction, the number of travel lanes will be reduced within the work zone.
