Virginia Parkway/Virginia Street intersection

The Texas Department of Transpor-tation opened the new Virginia Parkway/Virginia Street intersection at US 75 on  Oct. 5. New traffic signals are operational, and new U-turn lanes are open. One significant piece still under construction is the right-turn lane from eastbound Virginia to the southbound frontage road, which should open by mid-December.

Lake Forest Drive

The city of McKinney began construction in October to widen Lake Forest Drive from four lanes to six lanes from SH 121 to McKinney Ranch Parkway. According to a traffic study conducted by the city in 2013, this portion of the roadway is traveled by about 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles per day. The additional lanes will address traffic congestion in this area. The estimated completion date has not been released.
