An asphalt overlay project on a Plano roadway is expected to be completed after nearly one year.

Construction on Parkwood Boulevard between Plano Parkway and Windhaven Parkway should be finished in June, Assistant Director of Public Works Carrie Jones said. To allow for some of the overlays, portions of Parkwood Boulevard were closed in May to allow for the application of the asphalt overlay.

The overview

Jones said the project included concrete repairs along portions of Parkwood Boulevard and asphalt overlays including:

• Parker Road between the western city limits and Parkwood Boulevard
• Small portions of Plano Parkway between Parkwood Boulevard and the Dallas North Tollway
• Parkwood Boulevard between Plano Parkway and Windhaven Parkway

“The asphalt overlay is placed to protect the rehabilitated concrete that was recently completed which allows for extending the life of the concrete street,” Jones said.

The cost of the projects is over $3.6 million and is funded using proceeds from the 2021 bond.

Looking ahead

Construction should be completed in June, Jones said. She added that temperature restrictions for the application of the asphalt overlay delayed the project in November 2023 until work resumed in April.
