Plano drivers and trail users will see construction activity across the city this summer as crews work on paving, concrete repair, lighting and utility projects, according to the city.
Demolition of medians on Los Rios Boulevard began in early June, the week after summer break started, as part of a $293,900 paving improvement project near Plano East Senior High School. City Council approved the contract, which will modify the roadway medians to better align with the school’s current layout and improve how vehicles enter and exit the campus. Two new right-turn lanes will be added in the northbound direction for students and parents entering the school. The project is expected to be complete and open before school starts next month.

The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2027…
