The details
Construction crews lifted westbound lane closures on Renner Road near Custer Parkway last week. The 825 Pressure Zone Project, aimed at increasing the water system capacity in northwest Richardson, included the installation of a new waterline along Renner Road.
Renner Road may still experience temporary rolling lane closures during non-peak traffic hours as the project enters the final construction phase, which will include pavement restoration and landscaping. The project, which began construction in 2023, is expected to be complete this winter.
The $75 million project also included the construction of a new ground storage tank and pump station near Point North Park, which are both in the final phases of construction and testing.
The big picture
The project is part of the city’s 2021 bond program and a partnership between Richardson and North Texas Municipal Water District. Along with the water system upgrades, Point North Park was also completely renovated with new playground equipment, artificial turf, play areas, a climbing wall and a pavilion.
