Pizza Hut Park traffic

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, September 18, in order to move traffic out of Pizza Hut Park and Frisco Square following the KISS/Rockin' the Park Concert.  Both roads should be open again by around 12:30 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.
