The project intends to expand U.S. 75 into five lanes by converting existing High Occupancy Vehicle lanes into “technology lanes,” which will have designated time periods for HOV travel. Crews will first restripe the southbound and northbound HOV lanes during overnight hours, then begin building a permanent barrier between the northbound and southbound lanes, which is expected to be completed in summer 2026. What else Once construction is complete, the lanes will only be limited to HOVs, low-emission vehicles and motorcycles during high traffic hours— 7-9 a.m. southbound and 4-6 p.m. northbound.
Richardson roads to see lane closures Lanes on Campbell Road and Renner Road are closed. Campbell’s closure will be for fiber optic work, and the right lane of east- bound Renner closed for a gas leak repair. What’s next
