1. Ohio Drive repairs Crews repairing Ohio Drive have shifted to a section of the southbound lanes stretching from Spring Creek Parkway to Parker Road. All southbound lanes along this stretch will be closed during construction. When this portion of construction is completed, crews will continue working southbound toward President George Bush Turnpike. Much of the work on the northbound lanes has been completed for the project, which is expected to span from the northern boundary of Plano to its southern edge.

4. Dallas North Tollway expansion Daily and nightly lane closures are expected to continue as the Dallas North Tollway widening project continues stretching from SH 121 to the President George Bush Turnpike. Most construction will allow for regular traffic flow, although crew work occasionally requires larger shutdowns, including work at Tennyson Parkway and Legacy Drive on two consecutive weekends in August that closed all lanes to the public along that stretch. When complete, the DNT will have four tolled lanes in each direction. In the meantime, speed limits along the DNT have been lowered to 60 mph, and drivers can expect various lane closures throughout the remainder of the project.
