Plano crews to test night construction
Eligible nighttime construction
Plano residents can expect to see more night- time construction soon as the city tests a new pilot program along Custer Road. What you need to know Plano City Council supported a Public Works plan presented Aug. 25 to allow concrete repairs, replacements and pouring at night, which are activities currently restricted to daytime construc- tion hours. Director of Public Works Abby Owens said expanding nighttime construction work could shorten project timelines by reducing traffic delays and utilizing better weather conditions for construction. The work is a part of ongoing arterial overlay projects along Custer Road, spanning from SH 121 to Spring Creek Parkway. The details Owens said the first phase is expected to begin
in late August or early September, and the con- struction schedule includes: • Spring Creek Parkway to Hedgcoxe Road: August 2025-October 2026 • Hedgcoxe Road to SH 121: February 2026-December 2026 Nighttime construction will focus primarily on the intersections along Custer Road at Spring Creek Parkway, Legacy Drive and Hedgcoxe Road, Owens said. Additionally, work will be prioritized in com- mercial and industrial zones, with an additional 500-foot buffer near residential areas. However, some exceptions may apply at inter- sections, such as at Ridgeview Drive and McDer- mott Road, where apartments and single-family housing are closer to the roadway intersection.
