Beginning Monday, July 13, residents near Custer Parkway and the Silver Line railroad tracks, just south of Greenside Drive, may notice overnight construction as work continues on the Cotton Belt Trail.
Construction will take place overnight each weeknight from 8 p.m.-7 a.m. Through mid-September. The work includes construction of the future pedestrian bridge over Custer Parkway. Because crews are working next to an active rail line, these activities must be completed overnight to minimize impacts to Silver Line rail operations.
Nearby residents may experience increased noise from construction equipment during overnight work.
The Cotton Belt Trail is a new regional hike and bike trail being built alongside the DART Silver Line. In Richardson, the trail will span approximately 2.8 miles, connecting to CityLine, the University of Texas at Dallas, and the city’s existing trail network while also providing regional connections between Plano, Addison and other communities as additional segments are completed.
