Northbound Floyd Road Closed for Repairs, Detours in Richardson
Northbound lanes of Floyd Road between Belt Line Road and Scottsdale Drive were closed for construction beginning in mid December, with traffic rerouted to maintain flow. The closure is part of Richardson's Arterial and Collector Street Rehabilitation Program and may affect local commutes if additional closures are required for concrete testing and subsequent work.
City crews closed the northbound lanes of Floyd Road between Belt Line Road and Scottsdale Drive in mid December, and the closure took effect on December 22, 2025 as part of a slated repair and maintenance effort. The work is being carried out under Richardson's Arterial and Collector Street Rehabilitation Program, a multi segment initiative to renew pavement and underlying infrastructure on key local corridors.
Motorists are being detoured west on Scottsdale Drive and then north on Weatherred Drive to bypass the closed segment. Southbound lanes on Floyd Road remained open during the project, preserving one direction of travel through the corridor. Drivers should follow posted signage and expect changes to typical traffic patterns while crews work on the roadway.
Officials warned the community that additional closures could be required depending on concrete strength testing outcomes for the stretch between Scottsdale Drive and US 75. If tests indicate the need for more time or further replacement, construction will pause or expand to allow for testing and curing before moving forward. Once the current segment is completed to specifications crews will advance the rehabilitation work northward along Floyd Road toward US 75.
The closure affects daily commuters, school routes and local businesses that rely on predictable access across north Richardson and toward major corridors like US 75. Commuters should allow extra travel time, consider alternate northbound routes where possible, and pay attention to temporary traffic control changes, especially during peak hours. Freight and delivery traffic that normally uses Floyd Road should coordinate with drivers and customers about revised arrival times and routing.
The city said the closure and detour are temporary measures aimed at ensuring longer term road safety and durability. Residents seeking more information can monitor official city communications for updates on testing results, scheduling changes, and the timeline for reopening northbound lanes and advancing work to the next segment.
