DENTON COUNTY (WBAP/KLIF) – The Texas Department of Transportation began construction on US 380 in Denton County on Monday.
According to TXDOT, the improvement project will improve mobility by increasing capacity and reducing congestion.
“The improvements will bring the roadway to current safety design standards, and improve pedestrian access to businesses and schools in the corridor,” TXDOT Communications Director, Tony Hartzel said.
The 10 mile stretch of roadway runs from US 377 to west of the Collin County line. The project will widen US 380 from four to six lanes, add a curbed median, sidewalks and grade separations at major intersections including Oak Grove Lane, Navo Road, FM 423, Teel Parkway, and Legacy Drive.
Zachry Construction Corporation is the contractor for the estimated $140 million project. Construction is expected to be complete in spring 2025, weather permitting.
Message boards will be placed to alert drivers of upcoming construction activities. According to TXDOT, backups are possible and motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes.
