The City of Frisco will modify existing road closures near the intersection of Gaylord Parkway and Ohio Drive beginning Thursday, July 9. These changes are necessary to allow construction to begin on the east half of the new roundabout. For the past three months, northbound and southbound traffic has shared the east half of Ohio Drive. Beginning Thursday, traffic will shift so both directions will use the west half of the road. Gaylord Parkway also will be closed east of Ohio Drive, meaning the roadway will now be closed on both sides of Ohio Drive. These changes will begin at 9 a.m. Thursday and will be put in place throughout the day. The closures and traffic shift are expected to remain for about five months.
Detour signs have been posted for drivers. Traffic on Gaylord Parkway will not be able to reach Ohio Drive from either direction. Drivers will be diverted north to Warren Parkway and routed around the closure using Preston Road or Hillcrest Road. Northbound Ohio Drive traffic will move to the west side of the median at the intersection south of Gaylord Parkway and return to the normal side of the median at the intersection north of Gaylord Parkway at Bald Eagle Lane. Continued closures from the past three months remain in effect: No left turns will be allowed at these intersections. All traffic must turn right to enter or exit the associated driveways. These restrictions will affect Bald Eagle Lane, the driveway behind Lowe’s and the driveways serving the apartment complexes south of Gaylord Parkway on both sides of Ohio Drive. Traffic on Ohio Drive will not be able to turn onto Gaylord Parkway and will instead be directed east or west onto Warren Parkway. During the closures, the Capitol at Stonebriar apartment complex will have no access to or from Ohio Drive. All traffic heading to the complex must navigate around the closures and approach from the east using Gaylord Parkway. Residents can find more information about the roundabout at Ohio Drive and Gaylord Parkway online. Please use caution while driving in the work zone or find an alternate route in advance.
