PRINT PGBT Traffic Improvement at US 75
The NTTA is working in cooperation with the City of Plano, TxDOT, DART, and NCTCOG to address recurring traffic congestion at the PGBT/US 75 interchange. The limits of the project stretch from the interchange to 15th Street. The project consists of widening the direct connectors to two lanes, improving the merge/weave condition at the 15th Street exit ramp. Other improvements are either planned or under construction by other agencies and NTTA is coordinating additional improvements with those agencies.
The Regional Transportation Council in January 2006, approved $4.15 million in federal funds for the project and the NTTA Board approved $2.5 million in funds to keep the project moving forward. TxDOT has assumed the lead in the design and construction and currently has design underway. The improvements are expected to be completed by 2010.
