BACKGROUND

Project Justification:  Increased traffic at the following intersections: McDermott Drive at US75 and Greenville Avenue at Exchange Parkway, necessitates the addition of right turn lanes to accommodate traffic flow. A grant for this project has been committed by Collin County ($450,000 in Collin County Bond Funds from the 2007 Election) through an existing Interlocal Agreement. The design has been completed, the project has been bid, and construction of these lane additions will be managed by the City of Allen.

 

Project Description: Add an additional right turn lane at eastbound McDermott Drive to southbound US 75 Service Road.  Add right turn lanes westbound McDermott Drive to northbound US 75 Service Road and northbound Greenville Avenue to eastbound Exchange Parkway. The additional right turn lane for eastbound Stacy Road to Southbound US 75 frontage road was removed from this project since it will now be constructed with the future construction of the Stacy Green mixed-use development.

 

Construction of this project is expected to commence in May 2018 with substantial completion occurring in December.

 

Construction Contract: On April 5 2018, a total of five (5) bids were received for this project:
