$5.38M asphalt overlay projects starting this summer in Plano

Several Plano roads are set to undergo more construction this summer as the city moves ahead with its next phase of asphalt overlays.

What you need to know

At their Feb. 23 meeting, Plano City Council members approved a $5.38 million contract to construct a thin asphalt overlay on four roadway sections, including:

• Legacy Drive between Coit Road and Custer Road
• Park Boulevard between the West City Limit and Preston Road
• Parker Road between Independence Parkway and US 75
• Independence Parkway between Parker Road and Spring Creek Parkway

Construction is slated to begin this summer and wrap in the fall, according to the city’s website.

The contract also includes the repair of 1,200 square yards of arterial concrete and additional repairs at railroad crossings as needed, city documents state.

Construction work last summer added 47 miles of overlays in Plano, accounting for about a third of the city’s planned overlay projects, according to a news release from the city.
