Construction on Celina Parkway set to begin in early 2026

A new road construction project is expected to begin soon on Celina Parkway. 

At their Dec. 9 meeting, Celina City Council members approved a $1.75 million contract to repair and resurface Celina Parkway.

What you need to know: The work will stretch from FM 428 to the Collin County Outer Loop, according to city documents. Celina Parkway is “experiencing deteriorating surface conditions and drainage issues,” which require a full reclamation and resurfacing of the road, according to city documents. Engineering Director Andy Glasgow said crews will repair the road with an asphalt overlay rather than replacing it with concrete, which would be more expensive and require more right-of-way acquisitions.

What’s next?: Construction is expected to start in early 2026 and wrap up by June, according to the city’s website.
