The portion of Collin McKinney Parkway that will be connected is between Lake Forest Drive and Tine Drive along the southern border of the Lake Forest neighborhood. The project will complete an east-west connection less than half a mile long that will also include a bridge over Cottonwood Creek, according to a presentation given at a Nov. 1 City Council meeting by Assistant Director of Engineering Michael Hebert.
The project will establish a corridor that connects Custer Road to Hardin Road along Collin McKinney Parkway, Hebert said. When finished, the road will have two lanes traveling west and two traveling east, according to city documents.
The project also identifies work to be completed at the intersection of Collin McKinney Parkway and Hardin Boulevard to install a traffic signal. The work is expected to take approximately one year with an estimated completion date of January 2024, Hebert said.
McKinney City Council unanimously approved the contracts for the project at a Nov. 1 meeting. Ragle Inc. was awarded the $9.6 million contract by the council and will serve as the contractor. Alliance Geotechnical Group was also awarded a $110,305 contract at the meeting to provide materials testing services for the project.
