1. Plano Parkway-Preston Road intersection
Traffic disruptions intensified in October at the intersection of Plano Parkway and Preston Road as crews closed lanes and worked to widen Preston Road near the major intersection. Eastbound traffic on Plano Parkway is expected to switch over onto newly constructed lanes sometime in January, which is expected to streamline traffic. The city’s engineering department expects lane closures on Preston Road to last through March as crews continue to work on that stretch of road. The most intensive work is expected to take place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on weekdays.
