The North Texas Municipal Water District, or NTMWD, in partnership with the city of Plano, is working to replace an aging 30-inch pipeline, originally installed in 1975, with a new 36-inch water main to boost service reliability and capacity.
What you need to know
Lane closures along Custer Road are expected to continue through February during the main construction phase.
Crews will then begin testing the new water line, and final cleanup and concrete repaving work is expected to wrap up in October 2026.
The work will affect sections of Custer Road from Renner Road, just past the President George Bush Turnpike, to 15th Street as crews complete the installation.
The far-right northbound lane of Custer Road will continue to be closed, with temporary center lane closures expected through Nov. 3. Construction work is scheduled from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, according to the city’s website.
NTMWD Director of Communications Alex Johnson said the total cost of the project, including work in Richardson, is $18 million.
Looking ahead
City officials are planning to share biweekly construction updates on the project’s website as work continues.
