Anna, Texas Residents, commuters, and TxDOT partners 5 phases

In order · start → finish5 stages · a cinematic, phase-by-phase walkthrough

1
Rosamond ParkwayOpened 2023

A new east-west lifeline.

Rosamond Parkway opened in early 2023, connecting U.S. 75 to SH-5 — funded through a public-private partnership with DR Horton contributing over $8.4 million for the roadway and utilities, easing congestion on FM 455 and serving Anna High School.

Room takeaway

Partnership funding delivered a major artery without waiting on it.

Tone

Foundational, resourceful

2
Safer Intersections2023–2025

Green lights where they matter most.

New signals came online at U.S. 75 and the Outer Loop/Foster Crossing and at FM 455 and Oak Hollow Drive (March 2025), with a warranted signal at SH-5 and Rosamond Parkway being finalized by TxDOT.

Room takeaway

Small, targeted safety wins add up across a growing grid.

Tone

Careful, protective

3
Ferguson ParkwayIn design

Engineering the bypass Anna will need.

The Ferguson Parkway project — connecting Taylor Boulevard to the Collin County Outer Loop — entered design, with Phase 1 planned as two concrete lanes and a three-lane bridge to bypass congested FM 455 intersections.

Room takeaway

The city is designing tomorrow's relief before today's jams set in.

Tone

Forward-looking, deliberate

4
Widening for CapacityUnderway

More lanes for more neighbors.

Finley Boulevard is being expanded toward four lanes between SH-5 and Sharp, and a joint city–TxDOT project on FM 2862 removes a dangerous curve and adds turn lanes.

Room takeaway

Capacity is being added deliberately, corridor by corridor.

Tone

Steady, capable

5
The ResultA network for 100,000

A road network built to carry a city of 100,000.

Piece by piece — parkways, signals, bridges, and widenings — Anna is assembling the mobility backbone a city of its future size will depend on.

Room takeaway

Infrastructure is the unglamorous work that makes all the rest possible.

Tone

Resolute, big-picture
