Waterline work on Park Boulevard in Plano nears completion; pipe bursting to start on second segment
Summary
A staff member reported near-completion of waterline replacements on Park Boulevard between Preston Road and Coit Road and between Independence Parkway and Custer Road, and said crews will begin a pipe-bursting installation between Country Club Drive and Los Rios Boulevard; lane closures and traffic controls at several intersections are expected.
A staff member announced updates to two waterline replacement projects on Park Boulevard in Plano, saying work on the stretch between Preston Road and Coit Road and the stretch between Independence Parkway and Custer Road is almost complete and that one half of the project should be finished by summer.
The staff member said the work will involve some lane closures but will require minimal pavement replacement. Traffic control measures will be in place at the intersections of Independence Parkway, Custer Road, Alma Drive and Chisholm Place while that portion of the project finishes.
The staff member said crews will begin pipe bursting on the segment from Country Club Drive to Los Rios Boulevard. Pipe bursting replaces the old line with new pipes and, because it does not require extensive digging, the installation is faster and yields cost savings, the staff member said. Traffic control measures will be used when work reaches the intersections of Jupiter Road, Shiloh Road and Los Rios Boulevard; that part of the work should be completed by August.
Officials did not provide funding details or specific contractor names in the remarks recorded in the transcript. Residents and drivers should expect temporary lane closures and traffic controls on the listed intersections while crews complete the work.
