Fiscal Year 2025
Proposed Recipient: Town of Sunnyvale - Expansion of Collins Road
Address of Recipient: 127 North Collins Road, Sunnyvale, Texas 75182
Amount: $9,760,500
Summary: This project would reconstruct Collins Road from its two-lane asphalt section into a four-lane divided concrete thoroughfare from E. Tripp Road to Town East Blvd. This would include the construction of sidewalks, improvements to existing drainage and utility infrastructure, and additional enhancements for pedestrian safety. Collins Road is a vital transportation corridor sustaining the local and regional economy. It is a principal route for commuters, providing access to US Highway 80 and I-30, and would create long-term development opportunities and quality-of-life enhancements. Congressman Gooden awarded $6.5 million to the Collins Road project through Congressional Appropriations in FY24.
