Residents review TxDOT plans for an alternative US Highway 380 route from McKinney to Farmersville.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is wrapping up the environmental assessment of the project to build an alternative route for US Highway 380 north of Princeton.

But the project, estimated to cost $979 million, has not yet been funded, so construction bids won’t be let until 2027, said Travis Campbell, director of transportation planning and development from TxDOT’s Dallas district.

Campbell conducted a public briefing Thursday, Sept. 12, in the Princeton High School cafeteria.

About 60 people attended the meeting to learn how the project could affect their lives and property.
