Outer Loop

• The Collin County Outer Loop is a planned 53-mile transportation facility that will eventually link major highways, including IH 35, US 377, the Dallas North Tollway extension, SH 289, US 75, SH 121, US 380 and IH 30. As Celina’s population is projected to double within the next 4-5 years, the demand for commercial and residential development is skyrocketing. The Outer Loop will serve as a crucial artery, supporting this rapid expansion and ensuring the city remains a desirable place to live and work. The Outer Loop is positioning Celina as one of the most attractive places to live and invest in the region. While challenges like ongoing construction and traffic disruptions remain, the long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term inconveniences. The Outer Loop is a proactive solution that will keep Celina moving forward.
