According to the City of Frisco's latest announcement, the southbound Dallas Parkway frontage road will be closed at Gaylord Parkway over the next few nights. This closure, part of the NTTA’s Tollway widening project, began last night at 9 p.m. and reopen at 5 a.m. this morning. The same schedule is set for Thursday and Friday nights, as per the City of Frisco.
For those of you wondering about alternative routes, there’s a detour in place. Traffic will be rerouted left onto Gaylord Parkway, then onto Parkwood Boulevard, connecting you back to the SH 121 frontage roads. Stonebriar Creek Estates residents, you're not left out; the city advises you can reach your neighborhood via the southbound DNT exit for Texas 121/Headquarters Dr., or take the Legacy Dr. entrance. While closures can be a headache, they're touting that drivers exiting DNT onto the SH 121 frontage roads will not experience disruption.
The City of Frisco's alert reminds drivers to use caution in the work zone. It goes without saying but obeying signs and keeping an eye out for road workers ensures everyone's safety. For the tech-savvy or those averse to unexpected roadblocks, the Waze app comes highly recommended by the city for real-time navigation around the closures. A link to learn more about the app and download it to your smartphone is provided by the city for convenience.
