A 3,000-foot street extension project that began in 2017 is complete and open to the public, according to the city of Corinth.

The Lake Sharon Drive extension, a 0.59-mileĀ four-lane divided concrete roadway with associated drainage and water line improvements, connects Lake Sharon Drive from Oakmont Drive to FM 2499, opening a new direct path for travelers from FM 2499 to I-35E. The project is the result of a collaboration between the city of Corinth, Denton County Judge Andy Eads, Commissioner Hugh Coleman and the Denton County Commissioners Court, with work completed by Wildstone Construction, according to a news release from the city of Corinth.

ā€œWe appreciate everyoneā€™s patience over the last few years as we completed this project,ā€ said Corinth City Engineer George Marshall. ā€œWe want to give thanks to our leadership team and the City Council for their flexibility throughout the whole process.ā€

The city and Texas Department of Transportation are in the initial project scoping and Preliminary Engineering phase inĀ creating an interchange for Lake Sharon Drive to extend under I-35E, according to the city.
