Roadway, Water, and Construction Projects
Winningkoff Road Phase 2 – The contractor will be notifying the property owners in the project that work is about to begin. A surveyor will be staking the project limits and control points from Forestview Drive to Snider Lane along Winningkoff Road next week. The City has not received a schedule or traffic control plan from the contractor yet. Change Order #1 has been approved and will be posted on the City website soon.
Winningkoff Reverse Curve – The contractor finished the first of four repairs, and the temporary traffic signal has been removed. To date the contractor has not submitted any schedule or construction sequencing for the City to review.
TxDOT Parker Road – On Monday, July 6, the plan is to switch all the eastbound traffic to the new pavement. The placement of the new eastbound pavement will also start next week.
Collin County Orr Road – The County is planning to reconstruct Orr Road north of Forest Grove Road starting later this year, perhaps in August or September. They are planning to allow traffic to flow through the construction zone. So, no detouring of traffic is anticipated.
Forest Grove Road – The City’s on-call culvert contractor will be working on the Forest Grove culvert just west of Wolf Creek Drive during the next two weeks. A small shoulder will also be added in the vicinity of the culvert.

TxDOT has let a project that started in August 2019 with three main objectives: 1) add narrow shoulders to FM 1378, 2) improve drainage, and 3) resurface the main lanes with high-friction asphalt. When TxDOT widened the White Rock Creek bridge just south of Forest Grove Road on FM 1378, these three objectives were accomplished north of the bridge. This new project is six miles long from the White Rock Creek Bridge to Parker Road. TxDOT selected Jagoe-Public Company, a J. Lee Milligan Company for this work. Jagoe estimates that the construction will be substantially complete in July 2020.
