Closures continue at Gaylord Parkway, Ohio Drive for roundabout construction

Portions of Gaylord Parkway will be closed as construction happens on a new roundabout at the Ohio Drive intersection in Frisco.

For the past three months, northbound and southbound traffic has shared the east half of Ohio Drive. Traffic has now shifted as of July 9, so both directions will use the west half of the road, according to a July 8 city news release.

The details

Gaylord Parkway will be closed east of Ohio Drive, meaning the roadway is closed on both sides of Ohio Drive.

The closures and traffic shifts are expected to remain for about five months, according to the release.

For the past three months, other closures have been in place and will remain in place as construction continues. According to the release:

• No left turns will be allowed at these intersections.
• All traffic must turn right to enter or exit the associated driveways.
• These restrictions will affect Bald Eagle Lane, the driveway behind Lowe’s and the driveways serving the apartment complexes south of Gaylord Parkway on both sides of Ohio Drive.
• Traffic on Ohio Drive will not be able to turn onto Gaylord Parkway and will instead be directed east or west onto Warren Parkway.

Zooming in

A roundabout already exists at the Ohio Drive and Warren Parkway intersection just north of Gaylord Parkway.

The project will add a roundabout to the Ohio Drive and Gaylord Parkway intersection. This is part of Frisco’s ongoing safety and mobility improvements, according to the city’s website. It will be done in two phases, with Phase 1 constructing the southbound lane of Ohio Drive and the second phase constructing the northbound lane of Ohio Drive.

Construction started in March 2026 and is expected to be completed in early 2027. The project costs $3.5 million, with funding coming from the city and external funding sources, according to the city’s Capital Improvement Projects site.
