Chesney Concert Traffic Patterns

Eastbound Main Street and eastbound Cotton Gin Road -- between Legacy

Drive and Dallas Parkway -- will be closed to traffic at 10 p.m. on

Saturday, May 2, in order to move traffic out of Pizza Hut Park and Frisco

Square following the Kenny Chesney Concert. Both roads should be open

again by around 1 a.m. During this closure, traffic heading east on Main

Street should use Legacy Drive to reach either Eldorado Parkway or Lebanon

Road to continue eastward. During this time, Frisco Square can be reached

by using northbound Dallas Parkway or by turning left from southbound

Dallas Parkway at Main Street.



To minimize congestion after the concert, exit routes from Pizza Hut Park

and Frisco Square will be limited in order to reduce the points where

traffic flows try to cross each other. A map has been posted on the City's

website that shows these exit routes (go to www.friscotexas.gov and click

MOVE ALONG on the right side). Depending on where they park, concert

goers will be directed onto eastbound or westbound Main Street or north to

Eldorado Parkway when they leave Pizza Hut Park and then should follow the

signs to reach the Dallas North Tollway, Preston Road, SH 121 or US 380.

In addition, to ease congestion after the concert on the southbound Dallas

Parkway for those entering the Tollway south of Main Street, a sign has

been installed to remind motorists that they can use the right lane to

continue to the next Tollway entrance ramp at Stonebrook Parkway.



Motorists are urged to use caution in the area.
