A PROJECT TO WIDEN A SMALL SECTION OF ROAD IN FAR WEST FRISCO WILL MAKE A BIG IMPACT.
THIS WIDENING AND RECONSTRUCTION WILL BE A HUGE BENEFIT FOR THIS ROADWAY.
CREWS ARE PAVING THE NEW EASTBOUND LANES OF KING ROAD, MARKING A SIGNIFICANT POINT OF CONSTRUCTION.
THIS PROJECT WILL WIDEN KING TO A FOUR LANE CONCRETE ROAD WITH A MEDIAN FROM WEST OF ANTHEM DRIVE TO WHITT ROAD AND A THREE LANE CONCRETE ROADWAY FROM ROSE LANE TO WHERE THE FOUR LANE SECTION PICKS UP. TO MAKE THE ROADWAY MORE EFFICIENT.
TURN LANES WILL ALSO BE CREATED, INCLUDING A CENTER TURN LANE BETWEEN WHITT ROAD AND ROSE LANE.
THIS PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES NEW SIDEWALKS, NEW UNDERGROUND STORM DRAIN, NEW STREET LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION. CURRENTLY, THE WESTBOUND LANE OF KING ROAD BETWEEN ROSE LANE AND WHITT ROAD IS CLOSED AND TRAFFIC IS REDIRECTED SOUTH TO STONEBROOK PARKWAY.
THE MAIN THING WE WOULD ASK FOR DRIVERS GOING THROUGH ANY WORK ZONE IS JUST TO USE A LITTLE EXTRA CAUTION, SLOW DOWN TO HELP MAKE SURE WE KEEP WORKERS SAFE AND BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ANYTHING UNEXPECTED IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE.
PORTIONS OF THIS SEGMENT OF KING ARE IN LITTLE ELM, HACKBERRY, AND DENTON COUNTY, AND THE FUNDING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN ALL FOUR MUNICIPALITIES.
THE WIDENING AND RECONSTRUCTION OF KING ROAD IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETE BY SUMMER 2027.
