Highway system

The Collin County Outer Loop is a planned loop that will serve growing areas of Collin County, Texas in North Texas. It is a section of the planned Texas State Highway Loop 9 around the North Texas area. Upon completion, the Outer Loop will be the third limited-access belt road for Dallas, following Interstate 635 (L.B.J. Freeway) and the President George Bush Turnpike.

Current status

In its current state the Outer Loop runs 4.6 miles from US 75 in Anna to SH 121 just northeast of Melissa. This section was built at a cost of $21 million.[1] This section of road runs as a bi-directional two lane road, which will eventually be the north frontage road.[2]

Future

The Outer Loop is planned to run for approximately 50 miles[2][3] from the future northern extension of the Dallas North Tollway in Celina to Interstate 30 near Royse City.[4] The loop will be built in five different segments (including the section of road already open).

Segment 1

Segment 1 is the section of road already opened, running from US 75 to SH 121. This section will eventually become the north frontage road as tolled mainlanes are added.

Segment 2

Segment 2 will run from FM 6 between Nevada and Josephine to the Rockwall County line near Royse City. This segment could possibly be extended further south past Interstate 30 through Rockwall, Kaufman and Dallas counties as part of a much larger outer loop.[5]

Segment 3

Segment 3 will run past US 75 to the future north extension of the Dallas North Tollway in Celina. This section will run through extreme north McKinney, close to Weston and cross SH 289 (Preston Road) before ending at the Dallas North Tollway. This section could possibly be extended further west through Denton County as part of a larger outer loop.[5]

Segment 4

Segment 4 will run from US 380 near Farmersville to FM 6 between Nevada and Josephine.

Segment 5

Segment 5 will connect segments 1 and 4, running through sparsely populated areas of the county.

Junction list

The entire route is in Collin County.
