Preston Road motorists are advised that on Thursday, October 1, 2020, between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., southbound lanes of Preston Road (SH 289) will be reduced to one lane of traffic for utility construction in the pavement. The lane reduction will be along Preston Road from Walnut Hill Lane to Joyce Way.
The road closures are required for construction work on a Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) pipe replacement project. Construction work at Joyce Way began in June 2020 and is anticipated to be complete by November 2020.
Preston Road Project
Motorists are urged to follow signage in the construction zone. During the road closures, construction crews will be connecting new underground water pipes to the existing water system. The construction will require water service to be temporarily shut-off to some customers in the area to allow crews to make the connections. Water service to impacted customers will be interrupted for about four to six hours, beginning at 10 a.m. DWU staff will go door-to-door to alert impacted customers and will also leave written notification. DWU staff will wear masks and practice social-distancing when going door-to-door.
For questions or concerns about the project, please contact Construction Superintendent, Mike Warren, at his office number (214) 670-8082 or cell number (214) 243-4292.
