Fifth Street closes for construction in downtown Frisco

Fifth Street will close for eight weeks starting Aug. 11 for utility and road work.

The work is associated with Frisco’s downtown reconstruction project, according to an Aug. 10 city news release.

The details

Southbound drivers will detour via Oak and Third streets to Main Street, while northbound drivers should use Third and Seventh streets to Oak Street before returning to Fifth.
