The Texas Department of Transportation is set to finish reconstructing Loop 494 between Sorters McClellan Road and Northpark Plaza Drive in the third quarter of 2021. The project expands the road from two to four lanes and adds a raised turf median and center turn lanes at intersections and sidewalks.

TxDOT Public Information Officer Emily Black said utility issues delayed the completion date from the second quarter of 2021. The cost also increased slightly from $14.3 million to $15.1 million because TxDOT had to redesign a portion of the project to work around utility issues and reduce the effects on traffic, Black said.

Timeline: July 2019-third quarter 2021

Cost: $15.1 million

Funding source: TxDOT
