TxDOT to fully close U.S. 75 overnight at CR 371 in Anna

The Texas Department of Transportation scheduled a full overnight shutdown of both northbound and southbound mainlanes of U.S. 75 at County Road 371 in Anna, Collin County, for the night of Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, set to run from 9 p.m.-5 a.m., with traffic routed to the frontage and service roads between FM 455 (White Street) and CR 371 (Mantua Parkway).

WFAA’s report on the closure relayed the detour plan in plain terms: "Traffic will be diverted onto the frontage road/service road to get around the work zone." WFAA repeated the routing detail that "the detour setup will shift drivers to the frontage roads between FM 455 (White Street) and CR 371 (Mantua Parkway)," signaling drivers leaving the mainlanes at the White Street and Mantua Parkway exits to use frontage roads through Anna.

WFAA warned of predictable congestion patterns tied to the overnight window, noting that "the biggest slowdowns often happen right after the closure begins (around 9 p.m.) and again during the early re-open window (near 5 a.m.), when crews are clearing equipment and traffic is still heavy." The station’s traveler guidance included direct advice: "If you can, the easiest solution is simply avoid that stretch of US-75 during the closure window." Additional cautions supplied by WFAA were practical and specific: "Give yourself extra time; frontage road detours can move, but they can also crawl." "Watch for last-second lane changes near the exit points as drivers realize the freeway is closing." "Be ready for lower visibility (work lights, cones, equipment, and quick merges)." WFAA also emphasized that "All roadwork is subject to change depending on weather conditions."

The available reporting does not specify the exact nature of the work crews were to perform at the Anna closure; the original notice described crews working in a "work zone" but did not detail activities such as paving or barrier work. The published materials carried the TxDOT scheduling information via WFAA and were shared on WFAA’s Facebook post and on aggregation platforms.

Nearby TxDOT activity on US 75 in Grayson County offers regional context but is a separate operation. North Texas e-News reported that TxDOT planned a nightly full closure of southbound mainlanes beginning at 6:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. on March 1-2 to "permit the switching of the southbound traffic from SH-91 to US 82 onto the new paving and moving the concrete barrier." NTXE relayed TxDOT safety guidance urging motorists to pay special attention to barricades, traffic controls, and signs, to reduce speed in work zones, to avoid distractions such as cell phones or eating, and to remain alert to road crews. For questions about the Grayson County work, NTXE provided a TxDOT contact: Kristen.Prater@txdot.gov, (903) 737-9213.

TxDOT’s US 75 project materials shown on its website focus on long-term improvements in the Sherman and Denison corridor and include traffic-switch animations and detour resources; the supplied TxDOT content does not include a Collin County press release confirming the Anna closure. As TxDOT advances work along US 75 in Collin and neighboring Grayson counties, overnight closures and frontage-road detours are likely to recur, and schedules remain subject to weather and operational changes.
