Ridge Road extension in 2021 to include city’s first multi-lane roundabout
In April, crews will begin work to extend Ridge Road from US 380 to Wilmeth Road. The road will be built as a four-lane divided roadway, officials said.
Work to extend the road will include the construction of the city’s first multilane roundabout intersection, which will be set at Ridge and Wilmeth.
The city’s master thoroughfare plan includes a framework for roadways that support growth and development, and extending Ridge Road will help improve mobility options in the fast-growing areas, McKinney Capital Improvements Manager Nicholas Ataie said in an email.
Construction is expected to take 15 months to complete and cost $17 million, Ataie said.
“While roundabouts are not new to the area, these larger multilane roundabouts will require some additional attention and caution by drivers to markings, signs, and to yield to nonvehicular traffic,” Ataie said.
Extension of Collin McKinney Parkway to begin this spring
A project to extend Collin McKinney Parkway with a new segment is set to begin this spring, officials said. Crews will extend the road from where it terminates at Lake Forest Drive to Hardin Boulevard.
The road will be constructed as a four-lane divided roadway, Ataie said. The project will also construct a bridge over Cottonwood Creek and install a new traffic signal at Hardin. The project is estimated to cost $9 million.
Wilmeth Road extension
The city of McKinney will work to connect Wilmeth Road from Lake Forest Drive, where it terminates, to Hardin Boulevard. The road will be constructed as a four-lane divided roadway. The project will include construction of a bridge structure over Franklin Branch, as well as three multilane roundabout intersections at Lake Forest Drive, County Road 943 and Hardin Boulevard. The project is currently in its design phase, and construction is expected to begin this spring.
