An asphalt overlay project including three main roadways in eastern Plano should be finished this fall, according to city officials.

Work crews have switched from construction along Parker Road after completing the installation of a water line to Plano Parkway so they can finish applying an asphalt overlay. After work is completed on Plano Parkway, crews will apply an overlay on remaining sections of Parker Road.

The overview

According to an overview of the city’s Community Investment Program, the asphalt overlay project is for three road segments, including:

• Los Rios Boulevard between 14th Street and Merriman Drive
• East Parker Road between US 75 and the city’s eastern limits
• Plano Parkway between Jupiter Road and the city’s eastern limits

The cost of the asphalt overlays for the project is slightly over $6 million, per city officials. Funding comes from the Community Investment Program, which is funded mainly through the city’s bond sales.

Once work crews finish applying asphalt overlays on the main lanes of Plano Parkway, crews will return to East Parker Road. The overlay along Los Rios Boulevard has already been completed.

Looking ahead

According to the city’s construction updates, the asphalt overlays are expected to be completed this fall.

There are plans to then move over to roadways in western portions of Plano, including segments of West Parker Road and Hedgcoxe Road next spring.
