Concrete street repairs along Yale Boulevard between Belt Line and Buckingham roads in the northbound direction and between Spring Valley Road and Buckingham in the southbound direction were completed in April.

Repairs will be made in the southbound lanes between Belt Line and Spring Valley later this summer and work between Belt Line and Campbell will occur in the fall, according to city officials.

The $1.1 million project is funded by the city of Richardson.
