For the past several years, the City of Anna has been working cooperatively with Collin County and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on plans to reconstruct and widen FM 455 (W. White Street) from US 75 east to Powell Parkway (SH 5). Since FM 455 is a State Highway, TxDOT is the lead agency responsible for approving the roadway design and funding the improvements. The new expanded roadway will have four lanes with a raised median separating the east and west bound traffic lanes. The City has been advised by TxDOT that they plan to award a construction contract for the project this coming April and that construction will start in October of 2013. Construction is estimated to take 14 months and should be complete by the end of December 2014.
Prior to the start of construction, the City must relocate its water and sewer lines that will be in conflict with the project. A utility contractor hired by the City will begin relocating water and sewer lines along FM 455 this month and should be finished by October 2013. Some water customers may experience brief service interruptions during this project. The contractor performing the work should provide notice to affected customers prior to a water service interruption.
