en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Phase II road construction project for Coit Road in the Town of Prosper, Texas, USA, has been delayed by nearly a year. Town staff announced this situation at a recent town work meeting, and it is now anticipated that road construction will not begin until the end of this year.

Phase I of the road construction project, covering the section of Coit Road from First Street to Prosper Road, began last September and is expected to be completed this fall. Town officials had originally planned to start Phase II of the road construction earlier this year, which extends from Prosper Road to Frontier Parkway. Town staff attributed the delay to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and utility companies needing to complete their respective work before construction can commence.

Coit Road will ultimately be widened to six lanes. The current road construction project will bring it to four lanes and build infrastructure, including utilities and sidewalks, in preparation for future expansion. The combined $24 million budget for Phase I and Phase II road construction is funded by Prosper's 2020 bond program and a $2.8 million grant provided by Collin County. Drainage systems, water lines, and fire hydrants have already been upgraded in Phase I, and construction crews will begin pavement work later this month, followed by landscaping to complete Phase I.

The delay in the start date for Phase II road construction is to facilitate franchised utility relocation work and allow for additional coordination with TxDOT and the City of Celina. Town officials are waiting for TxDOT to complete its project review and for third-party companies to finish utility relocations before they can publicly bid the construction contract and initiate Phase II road construction. Officials currently plan to begin Phase II road construction before the end of the year, but the new timeline may change depending on circumstances involving TxDOT and utility companies.
