IF YOU DRIVE ON PARKER ROAD,[Road Construction! November 2023 Parker Road Updates]
NO DOUBT YOU'VE WITNESSED THE MYRIAD OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.WE THOUGHT NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO UPDATE YOU.
LET'S START WITH THE MOST CHALLENGING PROJECT, THE REPLACEMENT OF A WATER MAINE.
BETWEEN INDEPENDENCE PARKWAY AND COUNTRY PLACE DRIVE, CREWS ARE REPLACING CAST IRON PIPES MORE THAN A HALF CENTURY OLD.
WITH PVC, THAT PROJECT IS 70% COMPLETE.
ONCE THE WATERLINE PROJECT IS FINISHED, PAVEMENT REPAIRS WILL BEGIN.
HERE'S SOME MORE ENCOURAGING NEWS WORK TO REPAIR STREETS AND SIDEWALKS ON.
PARKER FROM PLANOS, WEST CITY LIMIT TO PRESTON ROAD IS FINISHED.
A SIMILAR PROJECT BETWEEN OUR EAST CITY LIMIT AND COUNTRY PLACE DRIVE SHOULD BE FINISHED BY FEBRUARY OF NEXT YEAR.
CREWS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING AT THE RAINIER INTERSECTION AND BETWEEN AVENUE K AND JUPITER ROAD.
HAVE YOU DRIVEN ON THE NEW SIX MILES OF ASPHALT OVERLAY FROM PLANOS WEST CITY LIMIT TO THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY THAT WORK JUST FINISHED.
OVERLAYS CAN ONLY BE INSTALLED BETWEEN MAY AND OCTOBER.
WHEN PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 60 DEGREES, THE END RESULT IS A MUCH SMOOTHER RIDE.
IT LOOKS BETTER THAN CONCRETE AND SAVES MILLIONS IN TAX DOLLARS.
THIS SCREENING WALL PROJECT IS NEARING COMPLETION TOO.
CREWS REPLACED 1000 FEET OF THE WALL WEST OF CUSTER ROAD, STARTING AT TREEHOUSE LANE.
REMEMBER, MORE THAN 27,000 CARS TRAVEL ON PARKER ROAD EVERY DAY.
THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE ROADWAY IS BETWEEN 25 AND 40 YEARS.
THE GOAL HERE IS TO GIVE YOU A SMOOTHER RIDE WHILE ADDRESSING OLD DETERIORATING WATER LINES AND ROADS.
