Plano to close Spring Creek Parkway segment for month of repairs

The City of Plano will close the portion of Spring Creek Parkway between Park Boulevard and Parker Road to through traffic for four weeks from Monday, June 2, to Monday, June 30, to allow roadway repairs, a City of Plano staff member said.

The work is a $350,000 project to repair potholes, cracks, and sunken portions of the roadway and a small area of sidewalk, the staff member said. "Since this segment of Spring Creek is only a two-lane roadway, it's simply not safe to have traffic flowing through the work area with the heavy equipment," the staff member said. "Closing the street both ways allows us to create a safe work zone, which allows this work to be completed more quickly and safely."

City officials did not specify detour routes or which contractor will perform the work. Motorists and residents can find updates and a schedule at plano.gov/roadconstruction, the staff member said.

The announcement described the closure and scope as operational decisions to create a protected work zone; no legislative vote or public hearing was referenced in the statement.
