TxDOT proposes new US 380 road in Collin County

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has announced a proposal to build a new segment of US 380, extending from FM 1827 to CR 560 through McKinney, Princeton and Farmersville in Collin County.

The project will include a new controlled access highway and significant improvements to existing roads.

The proposed US 380 project involves the construction of an approximately 12-mile, eight- to 10-lane toll freeway with continuous two- to three-lane frontage roads and 10-foot shared-use paths. The new freeway will extend from west of CR 337 to east of CR 458, north of Princeton. In addition to the new construction, the project will also widen and reconstruct existing US 380 from FM 1827 west of CR 337 and east of CR 458 to CR 560, crossing Lavon Lake.

The proposed right-of-way (ROW) for the project ranges from 320 to 536 feet. The project is expected to require additional ROW and could result in the displacement of 17 businesses, 18 single-family residences and one non-residential property. TxDOT offers relocation assistance to affected individuals and businesses. More information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program, including services, benefits and tentative schedules for ROW acquisition and construction, can be obtained by calling the TxDOT District Office at (214) 320-6675.
