The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) construction project at US 75 and President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT) is moving towards its last phase of construction and nearing completion. TxDOT is ready to complete the connections of westbound and eastbound PGBT to northbound US 75.

This work will require the closure of each of these connection ramps from PGBT to northbound US 75.

CLOSURES

TxDOT has indicated the PGBT connections to northbound US 75 will be closed starting Friday, July 12 at 8 p.m.

PGBT eastbound to northbound US 75 will reopen Tuesday, July 16 at 5 a.m.

PGBT westbound to northbound US 75 will reopen Saturday, July 20 at 5 a.m.

DETOURS

PGBT westbound to northbound US 75 traffic will be detoured to the “Ave K/Plano Rd” exit, onto the frontage road of PGBT and then to the northbound frontage road of US 75. To facilitate the increase in traffic volume, a temporary traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of the two frontage roads. Traffic on the northbound US 75 frontage road will be able to use the new bypass lane that crosses under Plano Parkway, allowing traffic to avoid the traffic signal at Plano Parkway.

PGBT eastbound to northbound US 75 traffic will be detoured on to southbound US 75, then exit to “Galatyn Parkway/ Campbell Rd” exit. Traffic will be then directed to the northbound US 75 direction.

Message boards will inform motorists of the detour routes. All timelines are subject to change with weather.
