Collin McKinney Parkway moves toward completion A project to connect Collin McKinney Parkway between Lake Forest Drive and Hardin Boulevard is on track to be completed by the end of the year, McKinney city staff confirmed. The gist The project includes construction of Collin McKinney Parkway as a four-lane divided roadway between Lake Forest Drive and Tina Parkway, installation of traffic signals at the roadway’s two intersections at Lake Forest Drive and Hardin Boulevard, and roadway illumination. A two-lane portion of the roadway between Tina Parkway and Hardin Boulevard was completed due to an adjacent development, Capital Improvement Projects Manager Blake Sills said, bridging the con- nection from Lake Forest Drive to Hardin Boulevard. The $16.1 million project began in January 2023, and was funded by the city of McKinney.
Wilmeth Road project set to open in 2025 Construction on Wilmeth Road is set to be completed in early 2025 following various delays, Capital Improvement Program Manager Katie McKenzie said. The details Construction includes nearly 8,500 feet of roadway along Wilmeth Road, as well as three multilane roundabouts. The $25 million project, which broke ground in March 2022, has seen ongoing delays due to various conflicts with under- ground utilities. Work is underway on the roundabout at Wilmeth Road and Hardin Boulevard. The traffic pattern at the intersection will shift later this year to function as a single lane roundabout while work is completed in the center.

The update The construction work along the roadway is “substantially completed,” Sills said. Additional work by the contractor is expected to be completed prior to the road opening, he said, noting that remaining work includes replacing damaged concrete panels and adding pavement markings in addition to other miscellaneous tasks. The roadway is expected to be completed and open to traffic by the end of 2024, Sills said.
