Summary
City of Plano staff described the process for selecting streets for asphalt overlays, listed specific road segments slated for work and said most projects are expected to be completed this summer, with some preparation taking up to two years.
A staff member for the City of Plano said the city will complete multiple asphalt overlay projects this year, with most work scheduled for completion this summer.
The staff member said streets are selected for overlays based on available funding and the most recent pavement condition scores, and that concrete repairs and coordination with utilities must be finished before overlays can be applied.
City staff described several specific overlays planned or resumed this season: Hedgecokes Road from Custer Road to Preston Road (resuming a delayed 2024 overlay), Midway Road from Spring Creek Parkway to Park Boulevard, West Parker Road from Parkwood Boulevard to Preston Road, and Independence Parkway from Spring Creek Parkway to State Highway 121. If weather and temperatures permit, Alma Drive from Parker Road to Hedgecokes Road will be the final overlay for 2025. Staff also listed five road sections where concrete preparation will occur ahead of future overlays: Communications Parkway, McDermott Road, Legacy Drive, Custer Road, Parker Road and Coit Road.
The staff member said the process of selecting and preparing streets can take up to two years “depending on the amount of work that needs to be done.” They added that once concrete repairs are finished an asphalt overlay is typically installed the following spring or summer. Staff noted temperature constraints for asphalt placement (work generally proceeds if temperatures remain above 60 degrees).
The presentation emphasized sequencing: repairing concrete and resolving utility conflicts before overlay, and finishing overlays delayed by weather from the prior year. The staff member closed by thanking residents for their patience as the city continues street improvements and maintenance.
"Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve our city for everyone to enjoy," the staff member said.
