LAKE SHARON DRIVE EXTENSION GRAND OPENING

CORINTH, TX, December 4, 2020 – We are excited to share that late this afternoon, the Lake Sharon Drive Extension will officially be open to the public. The Lake Sharon Drive Project is the result of a successful collaboration between the City of Corinth, Denton County Judge Andy Eads, Commissioner Hugh Coleman, and the Commissioners Court with work completed by Wildstone Construction.

The project began in 2017 and includes approximately 3000 linear feet of four-lane divided concrete roadway with associated drainage and water line improvements. This .59 mile section connects Lake Sharon Drive from Oakmont Drive to FM 2499. The new route serves as a direct path for travelers from FM 2499 to I-35 East.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience over the last few years as we completed this project,” said City Engineer George Marshall. “We want to give thanks to our leadership team and the City Council for their flexibility throughout the whole process.”

Other city projects include working with TxDOT and creating an interchange for Lake Sharon Drive to extend under I-35E, as well as a realignment and widening of Dobbs Road from I-35E to Quail Run. The Interchange is being run by TxDOT and has just begun the initial project scoping and Preliminary Engineering phase. The Dobbs Road realignment and widening are in the 90% design and Right of Way acquisition phase.
