Utility Work Causes Lane Closures on Jupiter and Renner Roads

The City of Richardson published notices on November 21 advising residents that utility and underground boring work along the Jupiter Road and Renner Road corridors would begin and continue on a rolling schedule through the winter months. Crews are performing the work during daytime hours, typically from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the closures have closed specific lanes on Jupiter Road between Infocom Drive and Bluebonnet Drive while restricting the inside left turn lanes at Renner Road.

The notices said the work will move along the corridor in phases, producing temporary lane closures and turning lane restrictions on weekdays. Motorists should plan for slower travel and expect posted detours around active work zones. City officials advised drivers to allow extra time for trips that normally use Jupiter Road or Renner Road, since midday construction could affect school drop off times, shift changes for local businesses, and deliveries to nearby commercial hubs.

Local businesses and transit dependent residents may see longer travel times during the typical work window. Emergency services and the city will coordinate to minimize impacts where possible, and crews will maintain work zone safety measures to protect workers and road users. The city notices include completion timelines for specific segments, with work progressing in a rolling fashion rather than all at once.

For Collin County commuters who use these corridors, the sequence of daytime closures means that the most noticeable impacts will be during peak daytime hours rather than late night or early morning. Residents are reminded to follow posted signage and detours, and to consider alternate routes if they travel through the Infocom Drive to Bluebonnet Drive section of Jupiter Road or use the Renner Road left turn lanes.

As the city continues its corridor work through the winter months, continued updates will be posted by the City of Richardson. Staying informed will help drivers avoid delays and support safe conditions for both workers and road users.
