Plano’s Eastbound Parker Road Bridge at U.S. 75 Completed

The Texas Department of Transportation temporarily closed the southwest and southeast U.S. 75 frontage road ramps to and from Parker Road for almost a week recently to divert traffic onto the newly completed eastbound Parker Road bridge.

The work is part of a $20-million construction project to convert the U.S. 75 and Parker Road interchange from a standard, grade-separated bridge to a single-point urban interchange. The southside bridge is nearly complete and the northside bridge construction is ready to begin.

The contractor for the project is Houston-based W.W. Webber LLC. The estimated project completion date is fall 2010.
